Kernel recompile for NVIDIA needed .h files?
 

I have downloaded my kernel sources in an attempt to install my Nvidia drivers... however it states that it can't find kernel.h and other headers it needs in the /usr/src/kernel-(my kernel number)

Sure enough there's nothing in there but .c files so how can I compile this bad boy so I get all the necessary .h files?

Thanks!

The kernel source will have the needed files. Something must have went wrong with your download or tar file extraction.


Make sure your downloading the correct file.

If you are with Slack, one way to get these .h files is to installpkg kernel-headers. It's on your installation CD. If you are with other distro.. there should be same sort of kernel-headers package on the CDs. That's all you need. No sources.
