Deal All, I apologize to all of you who find this question trivial. I am completely new to Linux and to Scientific Linux in particular albeit Unix (OpenBSD and Solaris) user of over 20 years.
I have been entrusted with the installation and configuration of NVidia Tesla c1060 on our university test rig running i386_64 Scientific Linux 5.5. After a bit of pocking around I managed to kill X server, install gcc as directed by NVidia driver installation script. However, due to the lack of pre-compiled kernel interfaces on NVidia ftp server I am forced by installer to compile a kernel interface. This is where my troubles begin. I have no source code for the kernel. I used yum to install kernel-devel.rpm and all other rpms (since I didn't find kernel-src.rpm) which contain kernel in the name. Never the less script still complains about the lack of the kernel source code. Could you please tell me where can I get kernel source and where is supposed to be placed on Linux? I would welcome any other tip or howto or pointer to documentation since I really want to do science instead of playing with system administration. Thank you, Predrg Punosevac P.S. Is there TeXLive rmp for Scientific Linux? I saw teTeX which is probably enough for this machine but if TeXLive is available why not.
