Thanks, after creating the symbolic link the nvidia
shell script build the kernel interface but then
stopped with the following response: (and also I
believe that the headers are the correct ones for my
kernel)
executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make nvidia.o
SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include
'...
echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`cc -v 2>&1 | tail -n

-> Kernel module compilation complete.
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.o'.
This is most likely
because the kernel module was built using the
wrong kernel header files.
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.

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL
compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module
supplier for
assistance, only they can help you.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.
You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README
available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
That line "Hint you are trying to load a module
without GPL compatible licence..." is that the
problem? And of course what do I do about it?
I always thought nvidia was ok because they provide
drivers for linux. Should I be supporting some other
video card maker?
