NVIDIA driver ... fails to compile (again)
Hello.
I use "make-kpkg" (from "kernel-package" deb) to compile the Nvidia driver
(I've just downloaded version 1.0.8776-3 of "nvidia-kernel-source").
Then I get (after building kernel 2.6.19.1):

Perhaps /home/eran/system/kernel/source/modules/nvidia-kernel does not

If you see messages that indicate that it is not
in fact being built as root, please file a bug
against /home/eran/system/kernel/source/modules/nvidia-kernel.

Last time I followed the same procedure (with version 1.0.8762 and kernel
2.6.17.7) it went fine. What am I missing now?
Thanks and best regards (and Happy New Year),
Gilles
