Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module


Code:
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log
-> Building kernel module:
   executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make module SYSSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/bui
   ld SYSOUT=/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/build'...
   
   NVIDIA: calling KBUILD...
   make CC=cc  KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/

   NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
   nvidia.ko failed to build!
   make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
   make: *** [module] Error 2
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
Any idea how to solve?

primarily this is looking for /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686/scripts/gcc-version.sh. does this exist? does the kernel-headers directory exist at all? have you installed either the kernel source of the headers?

I have installed the kernel-headers but not the kernel source. However, I realise the "scripts" is not a directory.

Code:
