Ok I did chmod which alowed me to execute the file but now I get this error. unable to build the nvidia kernel module interface, then unable to add a precompiled kernel interface for the running kernel BTW I have tryed this in smp and single kernel just to check the errors and they were both the same. I have also tryed the nvidia 5336 installer which complains about not finding a matching source for the kernel.
