Description of problem:
I am trying to install the version 4191 Nvidia video drivers on phoebe 8.0.94
(third beta).  The first step is to compile the kernel driver from the Nvidia
source.  This fails with many errors ending in "make: *** [nv.o] Error 1".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and untar the latest Nvidia drivers (Kernel Tar File) to an install
directory.
2. cd NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191
3. make install

    

Actual Results:  echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`cc -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" >

Expected Results:  A file called NVdriver should have been created in the
/lib/modules/2.4.20-2.48/kernel/drivers/video directory.

Additional info:

I don't know if this is an Nvidia problem or a Redhat problem.  I am posting it
here in the hopes that someone can recognize what is wrong and what I need to do
to fix it.  My system was running Redhat 8.0 and Nvidia driver version 2960 OK
prior to installing phoebe.
