I've successfully built OGRE from CVS on my athlon 64 3000+ which is running Gentoo compiled for amd64. I had to manually install the 64 bit version of the nvidia Cg toolkit. OGRE installs fine, but when I go into the Samples/Common/bin directory and attempt to run one of the samples all it does is something like the following:
tbird bin # ./SkyBox

OGRE Configuration
------------------
Select Renderer:
1) OpenGL Rendering Subsystem
It never displays a window or anything. I'm using version 1.0.6629 of the nvidia display drives for linux amd64 with a geforce 6600 GT card.
The kernel is 2.6.9-gentoo-r6
Thanks for the help, I hope to start experimentening with OGRE soon it looks like a fantastic project.

Which apperas to be the same error as this person had, which went unresolved AFAICT.
