Nvidia Driver
I recently upgraded my machine to slackware64-current and when i try to install the nvidia driver i get this error message
ERROR: The kernel header file '/lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/3.10.17/build' have not been configured.
Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out problems on my own but this one has me stumped.

Questions
1. Via the blob or slackbuilds?
2. Which driver version?

If you can't get the latest driver to install then try this:
ln -s ../generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/linux

You need 304.88, previous versions do not work with the 3.10 kernel. |

If you were trying to use an old driver then version.h moving is probably not the only issue. |

I just updated the Nvidia driver on my -current system.
Installation of 304.108 went smoothly and no patch was needed for the kernel 3.10.5-smp.
Hope it helps |
