Thank you for that.
The driver installation appears to have subsequently succeeded.
However, after rebooting, the system still does not see the external
monitor (using System -> Preferences -> Monitors), and
I don't think that will work. Try using nvidia-settings.
As I had said, xwindows now no longer works on the system.
What do I need to do, at the command line level, to get xwindows
operable on the system?
In the circumstances, it appears to be a congiuration or settings issue.
Or, despite the information on the nvidia web site, perhaps the driver
simply does not work with Debian 6.
I note that the gcc version issues showed that the gcc version
applicable to the driver, appeared to be an earlier version (4.3, I
think) than the installed version when I installed gcc (4.4, I think)
(but the discrepancy appeared to have been overcome in the procedure
that I followed), indicating (I believe) that Debian 6 should not be a
version to early for thenvidia driver.
It might be that you need to generate an Xorg.conf file from scratch.
Make sure to backup any existing configuration file first
(/etc/X11/xorg.conf). You can generate one using the nvidia-xconfig
package: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Configuration
