Hi all, Kudos to SUSE. See below. Best regards On Saturday 03 July 2004 12:54, Paul C. Leopardi wrote: ..
After installing kernel-syms-2.6.5-7.95, I logged in as root, changed to runlevel 3, changed directory to where I had downloaded the nVIDIA installer and 1) Ran . ./makeflags-SUSE.README.sh, containing the line:
export MAKEFLAGS= \ "-C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build O=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build"
2) Ran ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6106-pkg2.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux
The install worked. .. SuSE could write an article for the Support Database, describing the problem and its solution.
Finally, at some stage, SuSE should take a look at changing the precompiled interface from 1.0-5332 to 1.0-6106, and changing the YOU download script to match. Probably for SuSE 9.2?
SUSE has updated their nVIDIA installer HOWTO to include info on 1.0-6106. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-HOWTO Since I have already successfully installed 1.0-6106, I haven't tried any of the methods listed, so I don't know if any of them also need export MAKEFLAGS as per 1) above. Thanks to Thomas Hertweck for pointing me to the HOWTO.
