[gobolinux-users] Nvidia problem with kernel headers

[Thomas Queste]

I just tried to install the nvidia drivers, using 'Compile Nvidia' but it failed
in finding the kernel headers.

The nvidia wizard (the install is no silent !?) ask me for the Kernel source
path: /System/Kernel/Modules/2.6.23.8-Gobo/build, which is correct after
'compile linux 2.6.23.8' and aborting after decompressing the archive.

The next step is were the error appears :
RROR: The kernel header file
         '/System/Kernel/Modules/2.6.23.8-Gobo/build/include/linux/version.h'
         does not exist.  The most likely reason for this is that the kernel
         source files in '/System/Kernel/Modules/2.6.23.8-Gobo/build' have not
         been configured.

My question is : should I compile the kernel in order to install the nvidia
driver ?
Currently, I only have the package which is provided with the gobo14.



With the nvidia recipe, there is also this warning about 'modprobe' :
WARNING: The path to the `modprobe` utility reported by
           '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe', `/sbin/modprobe`, differs from the
           path determined by `nvidia-installer`,
           `/System/Links/Executables/modprobe`.  Please verify that
           `/sbin/modprobe` works correctly and correct the path in
           '/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe' if it does not.


Thanks for your help,

Thomas
