I had the same problems with release RH 8.0, but I'm now running phoebe beta 3. Beta 3 is more stable on my machine - so no lectures, OK? I've read the Nvidia README and 3 guides online and the forums, and I am still missing something. You would be my hero if you could help... feel free to insult and call me newbie:

First thing usually quoted as the problem, the dependencies to build verified here:

[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep rpm-build
rpm-build-4.2-0.66
[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep gcc
gcc-g77-3.2.1-7
gcc-java-3.2.1-7
libgcc-3.2.1-7
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118
gcc-3.2.1-7
gcc-c++-3.2.1-7
compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118
gcc-gnat-3.2.1-7
[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep binutils
binutils-2.13.90.0.18-6
[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep glibc-devel
glibc-devel-2.3.1-46
[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep glibc-kernheaders
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.10
[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpm -qa|grep kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.20-2.48

-------------

Verify kernel:

[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# uname -a
Linux ShuttleXLinux 2.4.20-2.48 #1 Thu Feb 13 11:52:55 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

-------------

Next, correct files from NVIDIA:

NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm (tried the source GLX also)
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm

-------------

Next, are you root? Yes

-------------

I run rpm -ivh NVIDIA*

The two .spec files are located ls /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
NVIDIA_GLX.spec NVIDIA_kernel.spec

-------------

Then rpmbuild --bb NVIDIA*

[root@ShuttleXLinux tmp]# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm

As I said, feel free to abuse me for being stupid. But I've spent hours running variations of the above and searching for answers. So I'm stupid, please help?
