New subject: [SLE] From nVidia

14 Aug 2003

      Below is the response I rec'd from nVidia. SuSE SHOULD have told us what to 
do, but didn't. I wish I'd saved the command line options to get this to work 
that were posted, but I didn't. I still think I'm going to get something 
different when I buy a new video card - whenever that is.

Hi Fred, your log file says:

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel header files for the currently running 
kernel.
       Please make sure you have installed the kernel header files for your
       kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
       'kernel-source' rpm installed.  If you know the correct kernel header
       files are installed, you may specify the kernel include path with the
       '--kernel-include-path' commandline option.

Please install the kernel headers for your kernel.

My contacts at SuSE say they had no problems compiling the NVIDIA
kernel module for this kernel, once they disabled the gcc version
check with the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable.

I hope that helps,
- Andy

Hi Fred.  Again: what are the compiler errors?  Could you please
attach your /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file?
Thank you,
Sorry Andy.....it's late and I didn't think of that. It's attached.
