FC1 & NVIDIA accelerated drivers.

[Andrew Tunney <a_tunney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I run a G-FORCE4-MX440 card but can seem to get the drivers to install.
I'm trying to insttall the latest version of the drivers but it keeps 
reporting that it can't install due to no precompiled kernel interface 
being found.

This is despite me having the kernel sources installed (after getting 
the latest update).

I've attached the installer.log file which should (hopefully) give some 
clues.  Everything worked on RH9 but no joy since upgrading to FC1 :-(

Anyone have ideas ?

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
   ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
   rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
   this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
   your kernel.
-> Kernel include path: '/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2129.nptl/build/include'
-> Cleaning kernel module build directory.
   executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make clean'...

   executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make nvidia.o SYSINCLUDE=/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.

   You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with   
   a compiler different from the one that was used to compile 
   the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there  
   are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and  
   system crashes.                                            
                                                              
   If you know what you are doing and want to override this   
   check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.        
                                                              
   In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the  
   name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
