nVidia installation problem

Hello all,
Have installed Debian on my K6-3 box, with the Viper V330 card, and downloaded and compiled and installed the 2.4.25 kernel and its modules just fine. Have downloaded the latest nVidia drivers, it compiled, but won't install:

-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f 
   rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: No)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means 
   that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.

-> 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 source files. 
       Please make sure you have installed the kernel source 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 source 
       files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
       '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
-> Kernel module load error: Warning: loading ./usr/src/nv/nvidia.o will taint 
   the kernel: non-GPL license - NVIDIA
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted 
   modules
   ./usr/src/nv/nvidia.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
   invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
   You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
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.

Thanks very much for your help in advance :)

Cheers - Piers
