Again, you only need the headers.

Thanks for the info, as you can see I'm pretty clueless about this kind of thing. I take it the "m-a a-i" bit is something to do with this module-assistant package...? Do I need to install the NVidia drivers after doing all of the above...?
I'll give all of that a go when I get home this evening.
Cheers,
