    Hi Ivan,

    Thanks for the reply. I made sure all my sources were in and it would
    appear to be a compiler issue. The plot thickens. I haven't a clue what
    to do from here as I'm not much of a coder. I'm a little out of my
    element here.

    Again, any help is appreciated.

    Marcel

    -> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system
    (version: 1.0-
       4496). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-4496), the
    existing
       driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no'

    -> 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: No)
    -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this
    means
       that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
    -> Kernel include path: '/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/build/include'

       You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
       a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
       the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
       are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
       system crashes.
                                                                  
       If you know what you are doing and want to override this
       check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
                                                                  
       In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
       name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
