I wounder if the correct way is: > sh ./* --kernel-path-to-header /install/header You need to install the kernel headers for your *exact* running kernel. If you're using a Debian kernel apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) should work, then point the installer script at /usr/src/kernel-headers-$(uname -r). If not, you'll need to point the installer at the source tree you built your kernel from. Incidentally, the nvidia Debian packages I mentioned earlier explain this in their README.Debian. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
