Help! Problems with linux 7.3

[Noz]

Sorry for my bad english. I'll try to explain my problems.
I have a GeForce4 and want to install the
Linux Display Driver Version: 1.0-3123.
I run Nv chooser and have to download
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm and
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm.
then I try to run
rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm
and get the following messages:

Can someone help me?:confused:

Thank you!

Try to install the complete kernel sources for your linux kernel 2.4.18-17.
Most linux distributions do not install this by default. So check this.
If you have not compiled your system kernel as yet and you have not installed the kernel source package explicitely, it's seems rather likely it's
not or not properly installed.

Et beaucoup de la fortune, je regrette, mon français n'est pas très bon aussi ;-).

One other thing; in the future, you might want to think about running LANG_save=$LANG ; export LANG=en before running your make command, to get the error messages in English, then export LANG=$LANG_save ; unset LANG_save to restore your native language. Perhaps Klaus-P can read German or French or whatever language that is, but personally, I can't. I believe that he's right, that you need kernel-source installed and configured first, but I can't tell for sure since I can't read some of the error messages.

Try installing kernel-source, and then try NVIDIA_kernel again, and if you get errors, see if posting them in English helps. ;)

And by "linux 7.3" I assume you mean RedHat 7.3, correct? Linux 7.3 won't be out for another probably ten years at least, as the current stable version is about to become 2.6 or 3.0. Linux is the kernel, RedHat is what is versioned at 7.3.

[Noz]

Thank you very much both for your answer. I install kernel-source and then had no problem to build. I was able to install the package. Now my screen look realy better!

Merci beaucoup! ;)

PS: Effectivelly, I meant 'readhat linux 7.3' I must have wrote too fast

OK, glad that it works!
