First and foremost I am using Fedora Core 6 64 Bit Version. When I enabled 3D effects (xgl) in Suse 10.1 Linux. I do installed Nvidia drivers. It was a *.run file. I used:
#sh *.run
It was a great script and drivers were successfully installed. However I have tried to install the same driver for Fc6. Even I downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia.com. But all my efforts ended in vain. I downloaded 64 bit drivers for AMD provided by Nvidia. As I am having AMD 64 Athlon.
This was the log generated by NVIDIA INSTALLER SCRIPT IN FC6:

-> License accepted.
-> 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.
-> Performing CC sanity check with CC="cc".
-> Performing CC version check with CC="cc".
ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems,
for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' RPM installed. If you
know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the
kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at
www.nvidia.com.
Is there a Kernel Mismatch or Nvidia don't support FEDORA?
