I'm installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run and it's not working. I have the NVIDIA drivers installed that came with suse but I have no 3D acceleration. Here's the log;

-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (
ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file

on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at

thanks for any help.
