Kernel source RPM


Hey there,

I'm trying to load the NVIDIA drivers for my graphics card so I can start xwindows, however, when I run the installer from the command line I get this error:

No precompiled kernel interface was found to match you kernel...
Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel...
Be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed.

I'm running Linux AS (Advanced Server)

Thanks for any help!
Carl

I am not familar with that distribution, however, simply install the kernel source for the kernel that you are running and that should solve your problem. More details on the distro and the version of your current kernel would be helpful if you need more assistance.
