This is still a problem for those of us compiling from external sources that need the kernel-headers and kernel-devel package to be complete. I can't compile the NVIDIA drivers under bumblebee (Optimus bumblebee user).

/root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run worked fine

Do I need to force bumblebee to use the .33.run file?

Thanks.
