Re: making nvidia drivers

["John F." <jfloren@moseslake-wa.com>]

I did this up throught the "debian/rules binary_modules" command, where 
I got the following error:

nv.c:22: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [nv.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

How do I fix this error?
Thanks
