Compilation Errors for GeForce Drivers


I'm pretty new to Linux so my knowledge is a bit low but bear with me: I upgraded from Mandrake 8.1 to 9.0 and when I went to run X, it gave me an error about the video drivers not being compiled for the kernel. I then downloaded the new kernel source from the Mandrake site (I forgot to download cd 3) and the driver/glx source from the NVidia site. I did the following:
rpm -ivh kernel_source-2.4.19-16mdk.rpm
tar -xvzf NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.tar.gz
tar -xvzf NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.src.tar.gz
cd NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191
make

It was here that I started getting all sorts of errors about missing files in my kernel source such as "cb_enabler.ver". Did I do something wrong or did I get the wrong kernel source? I can't even load X anymore! Please help. Thanks.
