to another computer (one of my lindows boxes, for example) but those kernels come precompiled and there is little chance the compiler I have downloaded was used to compile those kernels. So, until I can find which Makefile into which I have to insert the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH directive, I appear to be stuck.

Yes, I wouldn't lie about something like this. The nvidia install script has its own ideas about which compiler it is using. Are there any other names for the compiler except gcc? I have searched my box for gcc and cc and all I get is /usr/bin/gcc. Nothing else. Joel Ken Moffat wrote:

compiler at some time, too. So, I just recompiled my kernel with the current compiler. Luckily the .config was the same. That was supposed to have made things better, but, there was no change. Same error when I tried to compile the kernel module. Joel Net Llama! wrote: On 08/31/03 15:43, Joel

Hmmm... I recompiled the kernel, and I get the same error. Could the nvidia installer be finding an old compiler? I can't find out what nvidia is doing with the install script because any attempt to modify it causes an integrity error and it won't run. Well, I have to mow the lawn.
