Aaron, it seems like you guys have become a bit inattentive nowadays.
Linux 3.7 has been long out and NVIDIA drivers (even beta) are still not compatible with it.

I’m using the latest beta(313.09) on 3.7 just fine.
I am using the latest 3.7.0 git kernel updated a few hours ago.
The patch fixed it after some hand editing of conftest.sh
if [ “$ARCH” = “i386” -o “$ARCH” = “x86_64” ]; then
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include -I$OUTPUT/arch/x86/include/generated"
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include/uapi -I$OUTPUT/arch/x86/include/generated -I$OUTPUT/arch/x86/include/generated/uapi"
elif [ “$ARCH” = “arm” ]; thenHi,
Any suggestions for this ongoing problem, now in 3.7.1?

It looks like that you trying to patch the kernel sources instead of the nvidia driver sources
To get the driver sources, run the .run package with the with --extract-only switch. This will create an directory with the driver sources. Cd to that directory and apply the patch there. Then run the nvidia-installer script in that directory.
If that still fails with the message that your kernel source aren’t configured, make the link as described in https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/525935/linux/please-update-310-xx-drivers-for-linux-3-7-3-8-compatibility/2/
PS more current version of the nvidia driver (310.19 and newer) don’t need that patch but only the link
Thank you mkossmann
Seems I do need the link. I did the patch within the NVIDIA source per your instructions and executed
cd /usr/src/linux
ln -s include/linux include/generated/uapi/linux
But when I then tried
cd /usr/portage/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64
./nvidia-installer
I still got the same error.
I need version 304 because my gpu is old (6600)
