At this point I am almost ready to open up the case and put in an
older
Nvidia card I swiped from another machine. However it is an Nvidia
Vanta L and I don't see much positive feedback on that card. It is
rated as discontinued support by Nvidia.



Just re-read your initial post again....

Do you have the kernel source rpm installed ??? In my case that is
kernel-source-2.6.18.8-294. The source is where the headers are. If
you
already knew that than it is not an issue. Of course you have a
different kernel version so your kernel-sources rpm should be the same
as you
kernel !! You can add the following installation source to your
repository 'HOWEVER' I would not advise keeping it there or you'll see
updates almost daily !!! Just try to update once and then mark that
url 'disabled' in your repo list... You can always reactivate it
later. I just say this as you might have some issue with a kernel
upgrade and need
to roll it back... Remember, it is always a good idea (must do in my
experience!!) to run mkinitrd from a root terminal (su/sudo) whenever
you do a kernel upgrade... Don't need the modules not matching the
kernel !!!

I mention the kernel upgrade as this 'MAY' help out. As I would have
to
have the same hardware as you to verify your problem I can't do that.
But if you have the kernel sources installed than whatever header file
you are looking for would likely be there...somewhere.

Long winded answer to ask if you installed the sources...sorry :-)

P.S. Here's that directory:

Type: HTTP
Server Name: software.opensuse.org
Directory on Server: download/Kernel:/SL102_BRANCH/openSUSE_10.2

Yes the kernel sources are installed. I can compile quite a few
applications. The exceptions seem to be anything unichrome/openchrome
or related to Timex/Sinclair emulation. None of those source files
will compile as they all seem to have problems locating the headers.

The headers are all there. It just seems as though the compiler cannot
locate all of the subdirectories even if I use a prefix switch
explicitly naming the upper directories in which they are found.

I've tried copying all the related header files into the application
directories and that works to a point and eliminates some of the
errors. However since the files locations have changed, so too do the
references to them. So I have to edit the header files and
re-reference the INCLUDE files location. With all the recursive
references this became too much of a challenge.

In short, although the header files are there, the compiler doesn't seem
to find all of them.
