I get thsis error message when trying to install the latest nvidia drivers. Keep in mind that I had the same latest version installed before earlier in the day but needed to reinstall them. I also updated the gcc to the latest in the /testing directory. I even uninstallled and reinstalled all kernel-sources, kernel-headers, kernel-modules.

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvsound.ko'. This is most likely
because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source
files. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files
for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you
have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct
kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source
path with the '--kernel-source-path' .

Now that is for the nforce driver but i get the same error messgae for the nivida display driver.

Not sure on how to do the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.

This might be part of the problem but i still dont know how to fix, any ideas?

FIXED" only way i figured out how to fix is to install the older gcc tgz files.
