Nvidia driver
Hoping someone might be able to lend a newb a hand with the below situation:
Trying to install the nvidia driver (1.0-6111) for a cheap geforce4 mx 4000 I have on a clean install of debian sarge (kernel-2.4.26). I'm running the nvidia installer (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run) After following the readme to the letter I end up with the following: gcc-version-check failed: Could not compile gcc-version-check.c If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? my gcc version: gcc -v gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-3) I do have the source and source headers installed and have also tried this with kernel 2.6.7 with the same result. Banging my head against a wall here! |

Try using export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 or export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 in the console where you are compiling. |
no go
Tried both, no go:
ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option. |

Dunno if this is any help. I am having my own set of probs with the nVidia driver (I currently am trying to instal 6011). Anyway, the link below describes how to install the driver specifically for debian.

Thanks!
Following the process at the link you provided worked wonders. The driver is now installed, now I just have to figure out how to get the TV out functioning.
Thanks again. |
glad I could help, because it is not working for me :(
still, I will post my problem as soon as I have the logs transcribed. Once again, glad it worked, because I am a newbie at this as well. |
