I'm having the devil of a time building (compiling) the nvidia-kmod
rpm for the kernel I'm running. (Why does this have to be so hard!!!)
Here's what I've done.
I downloaded
nvidia-kmod-1.0.8774-1.2.6.17_1.2174_FC5.src.rpm
from livna. They don't have the module .rpm for the
2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp which I'm running right now so I figured I'd
"just" build the .rpm.
I then "installed" the .src.rpm with `rpm -i'.
Then I edited the .spec file, changing
%{!?kversion: %define kversion 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5}
to
%{!?kversion: %define kversion 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5}
at the beginning of the file.
I then did
rpmbuild -bb --target i686 nvidia-kmod.spec
and get the following error messages:
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-devel-i686 = 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 is needed by nvidia-kmod-1.0.8774-1.2.6.15_1.2054_FC5.i686

What I do have installed is:
# `rpm -qa | fgrep kern'
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5
kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5
glibc-kernheaders-3.0-5.2
What am I doing wrong?
