another newbie question 8-) [re:compiling nvidia drivers]

Mandrake 9.0 Single processor kernel driver
If you've updated your kernel, get the source RPM.
GLX RPM

Don't forget to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file before restarting X. The only thing that will likely need changing is replace "nv" with "nvidia" in the drivers section.

Thanks very muxh Void Main 8-)
Sorry about the misspell, has been edited.

voidmain:
I don't care how you spell it. X11 is the only one who cares.  

voidmain:
Any time XP.

I got the source for nvidias latest gpu drivers and uncompressed (using tar -xvzf (filename.tar.gz.))
Then I cd'd into the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123 directory and tried make install but got the following error message-
<message>

Can anyone help me get these drivers installed? (TIA)

Either re-compile the kernel yourself, then compile the drivers.
Or, as it says, set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH. It also says that the kernel recompiling bit is usually best (as in not causing compatibility problems) so it's best to bite the bullet and recomplile the kernel (which is usually good anyway - the stock kernels tend to be larger than neccesary.
