Hi,

This has probably been brought up before, but I couldnt find anything that dealt with my problem directly,.

My problem is that everytime I try to update the NVIDIA drivers, it gives me an error about it not finding the kernel header files. The first time this came up, I proceded to install the Kernel Development package and then tried installing the drivers again, but it still could not find it.

Any idea of what I coulda done wrong? Not be doing? Thanks in advance to any replies. And sorry for being repetetive (I know how annoying repeat threads can be =p)

try using this cmd to see if u have the kernel headers or not rpm -q kernel-headers-kernelversion if it says package not installed then do the following. See if it came with the distribution CD then rpm -ivh kernel-headers-kernelversion to install headers or maybe download from the internet and install. The above will not work if u have made a custom kernel.

Once u installed this package u will find that the error will not appear again.

Can't remember the switch, but there's a documented switch with which you can point the installer to the dir you installed the kernel headers in. If that doesn't work, please verify (like Aqoliveira already said) the kernel header dir is there, accessable, and for a kernel that matches your current one and post the error messages.

Ah... got it working. Thanks folks!
