I have been trying to install the NVIDIA drivers for my NVIDIA 32mb GeForce 2 card without much success. I succeeded in downloading two tar files from the NVIDIA web site under windows and then decompressing them into my /usr/local directory. This created two new directories /usr/local/NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769 and /usr/local/NVIDIA_kernal-0.9-769.
I typed "make install" in NVIDIA_GLX* directory and received error message, "install: cannot create regular file '//usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers': No such file or directory make:***[install]Error 1 Then I proceeded to mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers thinking this might solve the problem. I again ran "make install" and got these messages: Removing all old and conflicting files! rm -f //usr/lib/libGL.* rm -f //usr/lib/libGLcore.* rm -f //usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.* rm: cannot remove '//usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.*:Not a directory make:***[install]Error 1 Next I ran "make install" in NVIDIA_kernel directory and received this message: rm -f nv.o os-interface.o os-registry.o module-linux NVdriver cc -c -Wall -Wunknown-pragmas ... ...yada yada... nv.c:50:linux/modversions.h:No such file or directory make:***[nv.o]Error 1 Help! This is really getting frustrating. I have essentially no Linux/Unix experience. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
