The first time i installed CL8, i downloaded the NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz and NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz, untarred them, make install, editetd my XFConfig-4 file and everything went fine.
This time i did exactly the same thing when I try to "make install' i get this nasty message:
[root@inferna local]# cd NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123/
[root@inferna NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123]# make install
echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`cc -v 2>&1 | tail -1`\" > nv_compiler.h
