Nvidia install won't work with CRUX 2.1

I suppose the Nvidia installer is only for suse/redhat/mandrake.

Nvidia install = NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run
I just downloaded it today: 06-July-2005.

When I run this without any parameters, I get the message that it has to compile an interface, then I get the message "unable to load nvidia.ko. Most likely because the kernel was built using the wrong kernel source."

Note: I am certain this error message is absolutely wrong.

Then it reads: if you know the kernel was compiled using the correct source, you can specify kernel source with "--kernel-source-path"

So I tried:
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.7

But it still doesn't work, same error message.

One other thing.

nvidia offers a way to extract from the install script, and then compile the kernel with a make install.

When I try that, I get the error message:

nvidia: version magic '2.6.11.7 686 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.11.7 686 gcc-3.2'

Do I have the wrong version of gcc?
