Using Debian etch 4.0
I downloaded the Nvidia driver for the Geforce MX4000:
Nvidia-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run.
I tried installing it:
Code:
sh Nvidia-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run.
Here is a copy of the nvidia-installer log file:

-> 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)
ERROR: Unable to connect to download.nvidia.com (unknown host)
-> 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: You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system.
Please install your distribution's libc development package.
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.

I tried installing libc:
Code:
apt-get install libc, but says there was no such package.
why can't I connect
to ftp://download.nvidia.com?
Appreciate help in installing this driver.
Thanks.
