It may be my mistake. I have a link from some kernel-headers for a kernel I use for an older version of vmware. The headers were linked to '/usr/src/linux', wrong headers compared to the new running kernel , wrong version.h file. I suppose nvidia's script looked at the '/usr/src/linux/...' path instead of the matching linux-header path for the running kernel. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
