Do you have kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7 installed? I've never built the
nVidia stuff for use with a precompiled kernel. I've only done it as
part of compiling my own kernel. At a minimum, I'm guessing, you need
to install the kernel-headers package that corresponds to your running
kernel in order to compile the nVidia drivers.
