Re: [LUG] Linux & AMD 64

Hello

Thanks for the info Grant sorry I need my hand held on this on as well.

When I run the downloaded file as per nvidia's instructions I get the
following errors. How can I find out what my '--kernel-source-path'
is?

No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this
means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running
kernel.  Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files
for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you   
  have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed.  If you know the correct
kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source
path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.

ERROR: Installation of the network driver has failed.  Please see the
file /var/log/nvidia-nforce-installer.log' for details.  You may find
suggestions on  fixing installation problems in the README available
on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
