Help, installing Nvidia driver

[Rony <rony_ml@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I downloaded Nvidia driver, tried to install it. And this is the log.
Someone help please.

I ran with the command:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run
--kernel-source-path=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8

Many thx in advance.

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> 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.
-> Using the kernel source path '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8' as
specified by
   the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
-> Kernel source path: '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8'
-> Performing cc_version_check with CC="cc".
-> gcc-version-check failed:
   
   Could not compile gcc-version-check.c
   
   If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version
check, sel
   ect "No" to continue installation.  Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort
install
   ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler
used to c
   ompile your kernel, and restart installation.  Abort now? (Answer:
No)
ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
       you either have configured kernel sources matching your
       kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
       on your system.
       
       If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
       you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
       installed on your system. If you specified a separate
       output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
       the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
       directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
       the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option.
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

       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
