Thread: Nvidia driver troubles

I downloaded the nvidia kernel and the glx from Nvidia’s site, but when I tried to build the kernel with 'make install' it gave me an unresolved symbol error. When i tried 'insmod NVdriver' I got several unresolved errors. I read on some other message board that my problem has something to do with my linux kernel version but I am not quite sure what to do to get it to work. Any suggestions?

Ok, we’ll need some more info to be able to help you out. Firstly, what kernel version and distro are you using? I've found the SRPMs to work nicely (but the tar.gz should be ok too). Do you NEED to compile, or is there a binary RPM for your kernel/distro?

My kernel version is 2.4.18bigmem and my distro is Red Hat 7.3 for some reason I did not try the binary RPM. I will try those and see if they work. Thanks.
