I'm having the devil of a time building (compiling) the nvidia-kmod

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:

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?
Dean
You need to install the kernel developer files for your kernel.
yum install kernel-devel 2.6.15.2054_FC5

Another thing you are trying to build an .i686 version not the smp
version. Might have to change some more options in the spec file. Not
an expert here but that is what is looks like to me.
