I'm new to the Linux world. In fact, I barely installed Linux yesterday for the first time. So sorry if I sound like a total newbie, but I believe I'm in the right forum for that.

Okay so here's my problem:
I can't seem to install the drivers for my Geforce 4 video card. I followed the instructions.

1. CD into the directory where the drivers were downloaded.
2. Logged in as root.
3. typed the command "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run"
4. I get this message:
ERROR: Unable to find the system utility `ld`; please make sure you have the package 'binutils' installed. If you do have binutils installed, then please check that `ld` is in your PATH.

What is it I'm doing wrong?

Which distro are you using?

Mandrake Linux 9.1 with KDE 3.1

There is another thread about the same problem.

Could that be something?

Haven't read that thread but I can also certainly say the development tools are NOT installed. you'll need gcc and a few other bits.
