When i try to install the nvidia driver, it has a problem hooking up with my source, I have gone to Kpackage, and installed the respective kernel source, and also unzipped, and when i run "sh NVIDIA~.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernel*" it works out until it trys to link or something and pretty much says i havent installed the source package, ugh. I have binutils installed, and the linker is in the right spot, what gives. Please help, Im posting this else where so I can solve this problem, but if you know whats up I would sooo sooo appreciate the info
