Guest IanthePez Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 This is my first time installing drivers in linux, so I have no idea how to fix this error. Here is what I did. I downloaded the source nvidia glx and kernel. I know I have the correct ones becuase I checked at many sites like these to be sure. in the /tmp directory where i download them i then typed rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA*. It runs for a bit, then says "install -m 0444 'NVdriver' /var/tmp/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0//lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/video install: cannot stat "NVdriver" :no such file or directory. The thing I see is the doub // before lib instead of a single / Is this causing my problem? If so, how would I go about fixing it? Thanks.

Guest anon Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 You don't have the files needed to rebuild the nvidia kernel. You need to install the mdk kernel source, kernel headers. rpm-build, and gcc.. Then try to compile the nvidia kernel. If you can't do it , or are feeling lazy, I have rebuilt the rebuilt nvidia kernel here: http://www.kernow.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ Click on the download link, then hold down the shift key while clicking on the nvidia kernel, to d-load it. For the GLX file just use the compiled one on nvidia site, it does not really need to be rebuilt. REM to edit your /etc/X11/XF86/Config-4 file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I had severe problems building from the RPMs, I recommend using the tarballs instead, worked first time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero0w Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Don't know, the tarball install screwed my system and forced me to do another install. RPM rebuild worked fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 DOlson, just a note that in the future leave a space between URLs and the punctuation, otherwise they become part of the URL :lol: Also, how come that link isn't in your tagline? Later, Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
