Problem Installing Nvidia VGA driver
using the instructions given in in Nvidia website i downloaded a .run file and using sh command tried to install it,but i'm given this error :
ERROR: The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist.The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/build' have not been configured. what actions should i take? |
be sure the kernel headers (source) are installed as well as make and gcc then you should have no problems installing from runlevel 3 (no X server running)

Have you checked http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA to see any information on that page might help?
|
Which version of openSUSE are you running?
What are the results of the command: uname -a Did you run the .run file as root? Edit: Ok, forget the first question, I see your sig now. The error message you got is usually one you get when you don't have kernel sources installed. |

finally i found out what to do to get the drivers compiled correctly, Nvidia installer uses the kernel files installed in /lib/modules/ and some unconfigured kernel sources where there by default so driver installation failed,I tried to reconfigure the kernel in /usr/src with make command and using directory switch pointing my new configuration to /lib/modules where Nvidia installer uses for more info look at README file for make of kernel-sources directory,thank you for all suggestions :) |
