Can't not compile Kernel Interface on Debian

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I tried to compile the kernel interface for Debian.

I use the kernel 2.6.8-1-k7. I have installed:
- kernel-headers-2.6.8-1,
- kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-k7
- kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7
- kernel-source-2.6.8

I have also copied the config file form /boot/config-2.6.8-1-k7 to
..config in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8.

But, I always get en error! Does someone know this problem? (See Log-file)

Don't do this to yourself. Debian gets confused with the way Nvidia handles
the installation, so it comes down to DIY.

Follow the instructions on this page, you won't be disappointed. It may not
be the simplest way, but it's definitely the cleanest.
