Hello,
I just updated from 11.3 to factory and wanted to compile the nvidia drivers. However, I get (nvidia-installer.log):
ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.37-rc7-desktop/source'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
Sure that kernel-desktop*, kernel-devel, kernel-source all have the same version and release numbers and the currently running kernel has the same version and release number too?
Google pointed me to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142794 but even with the patch from there I get the same error message.
Sounds completely unrelated.
My graphics card is a GeForce 8600M GS, and the nvidia website gave me NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run for download.
Why are you using this driver version?
