I can't compile the Nvidia Driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106) for Linux.
The /var/log/nvnvidia-install.log says:

Im using "Linux version 2.6.6-1-386 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version
3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)) #1 Wed May 12 13:19:06 EST 2004" as my
/proc/version told me.

I have installed the kernel sources, and pass them with de parameter
--kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6 to the installer.

Does someone know this problem???
