Hi,
I want to install the nvidia drivers NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run.
But when I run it in ends with an error:

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel header files for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel header files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel header files are installed, you may specify the kernel include path with the
       '--kernel-include-path' commandline option.

I'm using kernel 2.4.22. I've build it correctly also the kernel headers kernel-headers-2.4.22-1 und *-k7 are installed, also the kernel-source.

Don't know what to do can someone help me please?

Thanks anyway

Steve



Did you build your own kernel?  If so, make sure that you when you call
make-kpkg, you build a kernel_image and and also the kenrel_headers.

If you have a Debian distributed kernel-image packages, make sure that
you installed the idenitical kernel-headers package.  It looks as though
you may have a mismatch.

Also, once the headers are installed, go into /usr/src and execute
'ln -sf kernel-headers-<version> linux', so that the script is looking
in the correct directory.
