Nivida problem with gcc


Hi all,
Been wanting to try out a 64 bit distro and decided to give debian a try. Netinstall was great and quick but when I first booted my screen was terrible with 600x400 resolution. So, after hacking at the xorg.config file and figuring out how to get out of gdm back to a true console I was ready to tackle the Nvidia driver part of my system with always seems to give me trouble. So i'm stuck and need some help.

So far I've downloaded the x86_64 drive from nvidia.

I used the "Synaptic Package Manager" to download the source that matched my installed kernel.

Note: It only downloaded the bz2 file. I unpacked it and linked it so I guess that's what I was suppose to do.

Now, I think i've gotten things headed in the right direction but I figured there would be something else and guess what it was.

After sh NVIDIA***** I get a message that says that the development tool "cc" in not in my path....

I'm learning so need some help.
