Thanks guys :)) Got past that stage: Now I have: gcc-version-check failed: ./nvnet/conftest.sh: line 1: cc: command not found Could not compile gcc-version-check.c If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? I wouldn't be so peeved by this one if any of the documentation told me what version of GCC it was looking for, but it doesn't. Any advice please? :) Kind regards, Julian
The telling line in that output is:
./nvnet/conftest.sh: line 1: cc: command not found
Certainly in my Debian system the executable "cc" follows a series of symlinks before finally arriving at a genuine executable: gsewell@xxxxxx:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9$ whereis cc cc: /usr/bin/cc /usr/share/man/man1/cc.1.gz gsewell@xxxxxx:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9$ ll /usr/bin/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2004-10-20 17:46 /usr/bin/cc -> /etc/alternatives/cc gsewell@xxxxxx:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9$ ll /etc/alternatives/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2005-04-17 01:00 /etc/alternatives/cc -> /usr/bin/gcc gsewell@xxxxxx:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9$ ll /usr/bin/gcc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2005-04-17 00:27 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3 gsewell@xxxxxx:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9$ ll /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 84K 2005-03-13 01:47 /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 Basically, the file conftest.sh is trying to compile the file gcc-version-check.c. Since it can't find the executable "cc", it fails on that part. It hasn't even got around to checking the version yet! However, if you are at all concerned, it doesn't matter what version nVidia recommend, what matters is that the version you're using *now* is the same (or close to) the version that was used to compile your kernel. Usually they are. To test, though: $ cat /proc/version $ gcc --version Make sure they're the same.
