Installing NVIDIA drivers
There is almost too much information on this topic and I'm getting lost.
I have a GeForce 4 MX (440 I believe) and am running Debian-woody Linux.
I have downloaded and compiled the 2.6.8.1 linux kernel.
I have downloaded and even extracted the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run file from the NVIDIA Linux drivers page.
I have 'linked' (correct term?? 'ls -s') /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1 to /usr/src/linux.
I have 'linked' (correct term?? 'ls -s') /usr/bin/gcc-2.95 to /usr/bin/gcc.
Upon running the installer program it tells me that the gcc-version-check failed, that the version of gcc used to compile the kernel is different from the version of gcc used to compile the Nvidia stuff.
'cat /proc/version' produces version 2.7.2.3
'gcc -v' produces version 2.95
What do I need to do to allow the installation program to run?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
