No. Install the package called 'kernel-package', which gives you
make-kpkg.

Excuse me. Since he's obviously running one of the default kernels not his own compiled kernel, wouldn't it be wise to instruct him to install the kernel-headers package that corresponds with the default kernel he's running, rather than getting him to install the complex and (in this case) unneccesary make-kpkg? He doesn't want to recompile the kernel, just the nvidia drivers.

As my friend is apt to say "right tool for the right job."

Chris.
