I tried rebuilding the kmod-nvidia module for f8 using this method -
it failed with:
error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-devel-i686 = kernel-2.6.25.14-69.fc8
is needed by nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-1.fc8.i686
That was using the command:
rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-1.lvn8.src.rpm
--define "kernels kernel-2.6.25.14-69.fc8" --target $(uname -m)
I also booted into the latest kernel and tried using
--define "kernels $(uname -r)"
but it gave the same error....
The source files for f8 that were available were:
nvidia-kmod-173.14.12-1.lvn8.src.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn8.src.rpm
Any ideas on this?
