running the application. Google will help.
In some cases, you can symlink the needed lib names to existing later

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem, which seems solved:
Nvidia-drivers 180.60 won't compile with Gentoo Kernel 2.6.31-r4 .
The problem is fixed by moving up to N-d 185.18.36-r1 (also "testing").
I've just rebooted & apps seem to start noticeably faster on Fluxbox.
