Ok.... can you locate your /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
and post it. But before try the following:

./nvidia-installer --kernel-include-path= /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include

try it once like that, and if it doesnt work try:
./nvidia-installer --kernel-include-path= /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/

notice the / at the end. Of course use your version of your linux kernel header, and specify the source, dont use symbolic links to point to the include of your kernel header.

I wish you luck!
