After 3 days of trying, my geforce 4 Ti4600 still isnt working.

I followed the following instructions (the one from membrax)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...eforce+red+hat

but I always get errors,
first, how do I set the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH
second,

when I get to the stage of rpmbuild -bb NVIDIA* i always get the error that he cant find "nvidia.o"

Does anyone know the answer

I also tried to install it with the tar.gz files didn't work either
also the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH problem

please help

this is my kernel version: 2.4.18-19.8.0

This is the the last part of the output from : rpmbuild -bb NVIDIA*

+ RPMPATCH=
+ '[' 4 -le 3 -a 1 -le 0 -a -lt 4 ']'
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.65311: line 31: [: too many arguments

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.

If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.

In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

i had the same problem......when you download the drivers from the nvidia website, there's a pdf file that has all the documentation with it........this error is mentioned there. read that and what you'll probably hafta do is update your kernel so that your gcc version and the compiler your kernel was compiled with match. to check this (from the nvidia documentation), type 'gcc -v' at the prompt and note what output it gives. then type 'cat /proc/version' to see what version of the compiler it gives there.........if they don't match, then you've got that mismatch error. to fix that, just update the kernel and install the kernel headers when you update the kernel, coz the installation process uses them. do these two things, and things should work out.
keep it real hommies....

The mismatch problem is fixed but I still get the nvidia.o error
now the end of the output is:
