AMD64 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4180 :: compile error
 

Hi all,

can someone help me out? I use a SUSE 8.0 distribution and try to compile the NVIDIA AMD64 kernel module.

But unfortunatly this does not work. After getting a warning concerning himem.h the compilation stops with an error. Why?

What I get is the following:

Are you shure, that you have a AMD Opteron/Athlon 64 system?

If you use generic ia32(Athlon, Pentium) - just dounload correct drivers(ia32-41.91) and compile them
