I don't know if it's the same circumstances but I do know I had to do
this prior to installing the drivers from livna.
yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers glibc-headers

I have those installed already and am still getting the same error. The
last time that I installed an Nvidia driver on this laptop I used an RPM
file but can't remember which one it was. rrrrrr. This time I am trying
to install the driver from Nvidia "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run" and
am using Fedora 9 KDE 4.1. Anyone else have any suggestions?
The nvidia script won't work with an X session running. You have to get to
run level 3 and run directly from the command line console screen. It is
getting harder and harder to get out of gui to get a plain text console.
Probably easiest for you is to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and put a blank
followed by a 3 on the line with the kernel description. For example
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 ro root=LABEL=/ 3 vga=791 early-login

Hi
Or you can issue the command "init 3" while X is running. This will kill
X and you will be at the command line.
Install the driver:
# sh NVIDIA...
and reboot the machine.
