How to install Geforce 7100 driver with Red-hat kernel-2.4.21-40.EL?

[tmchen]

Hi:

I have downloaded the driver
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-9746.html

and installed it,but while compile the kernel to 72%, the program stopped and showed ERROR

"/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel
-headers system headers,
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but rather headers from an appr
opriate kernel-source package.
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:3:2: #error Change -I/usr/src/linux/include
(or similar) to

In file included from /lib/modules/2.4.21-40.EL/build/include/linux/vmalloc.

It looks like your kernel source is in an inconsistant state. I'd suggest removing and reinstalling the kernel-source RPM.

I type" rpm -qa|grep kernel " ,

and it shows

kernel-source-2.4.21-40.EL
kernel-2.4.21-40.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.14
kernel-doc-2.4.21-40.EL
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-19

what should I do?

Remove the kernel-source RPM and reinstall it.
