okay I did the 'yum install kernel-devel' and the nVidia installer still complains that I don't have the source files installed.

Hi all,
 I have upgraded to kernel-2.6.14-1.1656.  Following the FC4 release notes I
have installed the src.rpm changed to directory /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run
the following command:
 rpmbuild -bp --target $(arch) kernel-2.6.spec

 I moved teh /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/2.6.14-1 to /usr/src/kernels

and makde a symbolic link from /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.14...

I cd to this directory and cp configs/kernel-2.6.14-1.config to .config

i issued the command make oldconfig , i do not get this but I did it anyway.

when trying to build the nVidia driver, i repeatedly am told that the kernel.h
file is not installed.  I am at an impass.  Any suggestions?


yum install kernel-devel

That'll install the necessary headers so you don't have to rebuild the
kernel each time a new one is released, and nvidia will build its
module successfully against those headers.
