Hi,gurus

I got an error when I installed nvidia driver. Anybody has an idea 
what's going on and how to solve it? My system is rh 9.0.

Here is the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would 
you li
   ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your 
kernel f
   rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp 
site;
   this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
   your kernel.
-> Using the kernel source path '/usr/src/linux' as specified by the
   '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
-> Kernel source path: '/usr/src/linux'
-> Performing cc_version_check with CC="cc".
ERROR: Unable to determine the NVIDIA kernel module filename.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
       '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find 
suggestions
       on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.



Thanks
