Angry Driver Install Problems


I'm running mandrake 9 and have a GeForce4 card, but am having problems installing the driver files. I have downloaded the nvidia files as instructed after running the nvchooser.sh file found on the Nvidia linux driver page,

Nvidia_Kernel.src.rpm
and Nvidia_GLX.rmp

All my dependancies are ok, and you have to install the kernel first, but once unpacking the source, and apparantly installing the driver ./configure make. e.t.c I still cant install the GLX rpm, saying that the Kernel part hasn't been found.

needs help

I recommend you go to The Linux Documentation Project and
search for the Linux Kernel HowTo...

Holding a grumpy Swedish Linux Noob by the hand and leading
him through the valley of Kernel is not my favourite past time and
would blow the time-frame here ;)

Cheers,
Tink
