Hi gents

I've upgraded my desktop to the latest kernel update today:
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort
kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-base-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-source-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.noarch
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-3.4.noarch

and as a result the latest NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA web site
(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run) won't reinstall because of
the following error:

ERROR: The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does not
       exist.  The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files
       in '/usr/src/linux' have not been configured.

This was never an issue before. Anyone else having the same problem?
Seems like a packaging problem with the kernel-source package, doesn't
it?

There is, of course, an easy workaround - install the prebuilt NVIDIA
KMP driver from the opensuse NVIDIA repo - that works just fine.

Regards,
Vadym
