I'm trying to get the nvidia-kmod driver installed on my system. I am very close to doing it but I need to change the path of an expected source. I know that some of you are involved with building packages for the fedora project so I hope this issue is familiar. First I will paste a link to the thread on fedoraforum that outlines what I'm trying to do and then the output from the command on my system that is complaining. http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=126183 How do I modify or create a environment variable that points to the current kernel source for my system. $ rpmbuild -ba nvidia-kmod.spec --target=`uname -m` --define 'kvariants ""' Building target platforms: x86_64 Building for target x86_64 error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-1.2849.bag.v1 is needed by nvidia-kmod-1.0.8776-1.2.6.18_1.2849.bag.v1.x86_64 I created a link in /usr/src/kernels/ that points to the source file of the compiled kernel but it is ignored. The expected path must be hard coded in the environment the rpmbuild builds from. How do I change this? If there is more information needed I would be happy to find it and post Jim Kelly-Rand -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
