I don't know, but I assume yum will pull in any and all dependencies required to make it work, including the kernel header packages and the development toolchain for compilation. On all machines where I had akmod-nvidia installed, I usually also had all that other stuff already installed beforehand, so I am not sure if akmod would drag it in if it weren't already there. But even if it doesn't work automatically, the OP can always do it like this: yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel yum groupinstall "Development Tools" yum install akmod-nvidia That would probably cover all cases. :-) Also, IIRC, the OP had already installed the nVidia's .run package which also needs all that stuff, so it's likely he already has it all installed.
