Part 2: Got both problems fixed

Here's the log file from the nVidia installer. It might be easier to
understand my problem if you see this.

I've already installed the libc package from debian.org, and it worked fine.
So no problem there. But the installer isn't picking it up?

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you
li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your
kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp
site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
ERROR: You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system.

Please install your distribution's libc development package.
