i am trying to install nvidia drivers on slackware.
i was gettign an error about an unknown kernel module filename, I browsed these forums for an answer and came up with the solution of running --kernel-source-path to the end of the installer. i get an error sayign that the source path is not correct.

-> License accepted.
-> 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)
-> 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.
-> Using the kernel source path '/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/kernel.h'
as specified by the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
ERROR: The kernel source path '/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/kernel.h'
does not exist. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source
files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure
you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct
kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source
path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
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.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
