Any suggestions? Thanks This is happening because the NVIDIA installer is looking for your kernel headers in /usr/src/linux, which is often just a symlink to your kernel's source. However, the headers package won't automatically make the symlink. So, just do the following: ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-1-k7 /usr/src/linux ... and you should be set. -- scott c. linnenbringer | sl@panix.com http://www.panix.com/~sl | sl@moslug.org jabber: sl@theoretic.com | irc: Jawoota
