Does anyone know how to get the Nvidia drivers to install?

I have been trying for days to get the Nvidia drivers installed on my Mandriva system, i keep getting the same error. It tells me that it cant find a precompiled Kernal. Anybody have any ideas?

You must install kernel-source to be able to compile nvidia module.
