I don't know what to say. The error message clearly says that:
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/build/include/linux/modversions.h
is not there. Was it there? Now another mystery u is I got the error
in FC1 where modversions.h was in the source tree. In FC2 it is in the
modules tree which presumable be installed with the kernel not the
kernel source so I remain somewhat confused and cannot help further.
In my case in FC1 it was a matter of installing the right sources.
Here I don't know. And looking back I installed NVIDIA on FC2 before I
had the sources installed. More confusion! Sorry.
