tarball error in slackware, glx

[Elijah]

I've just installed the kernel drivers from a tarball but the glx one gives me this error:
root@darkstar:/home/elijah/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123# make install

I seem to have the same version of the tarballs
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123
I see no problem there ... it's weird.
Please help :(

any ideas? please help :(

Does blowing away the NVIDIA_kernel (and therefore the NVIDIA_GLX as well) directory and starting over (with just GLX; the kernel is already successfully installed, I take it?) help at all?

It looks like the nvidia_drv.o file doesn't exist where the Makefile wants it... maybe re-decompressing (to some other directory) will fix it.

I've downloaded those tarballs again, checked the md5sums and everything went ok. I've finally got it installed! :D

but it's strange that those last tarballs' md5sum is ok, then made those errors.

Thanks :)
