Hi, when i try to install nvidia driver i get this error:
| Code: |
nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
creation time: Mon Oct 25 16:34:28 2004
option status:
license pre-accepted : false
update : false
force update : false
expert : false
uninstall : false
driver info : false
no precompiled interface: false
no ncurses color : false
query latest driver ver : false
OpenGL header files : false
no questions : false
silent : false
X install prefix : /usr/X11R6
OpenGL install prefix : /usr
Installer install prefix: /usr
kernel source path : (not specified)
kernel install path : (not specified)
proc mount point : /proc
ui : (not specified)
tmpdir : /tmp
ftp site : ftp://download.nvidia.com
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r2/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not
exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source path
'/lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r2/build' is incorrect. Please make sure you
have installed the kernel source 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 source files are installed,
you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path'
commandline option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

any idea?

Are you trying to use the nvidia-installer?
I installed my Nvidia drivers from portage and it worked with no hassle
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel |
also make sure you have 4k kernel stacks turned off in the kernel and follow all other configuration guides for module support and stuff in the handbook.
