nV News Forums - OpenSuse 11.2 - unable to compile NVIDIA driver

Hello

Updated to Opensuse 11.2, last part was the installation of the legacy NVIDIA driver for a Quadrop 2 Pro.

Hardware/Software:
NVIDIA Quadrop2 Pro

VERSION: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.1-default i686
KDE: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 0"

Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1.run

******************************
I followed the steps I used before for 10.2:

install (using Yast):

gcc
make
kernel-source
kernel syms
kernel-desktop-devel

Searched for update with the updater tablet: none found

Prepared the source files: (as root)

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make prepare

No error reported.

so I tried to compile the driver:

init 3

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1.run -q

At the end of the compilations it reports that there was an error: so here's the complete LOG:

-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

************************************************** ***

The driver that I'm trying to install is the same I used with 10.2.

Any sugestions ?

Thank you
