export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95
ll /usr/src/linux returns lrwxrwxrwx 1 knoppix knoppix 12 Jan 22 19:27 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.4.22

same return for export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1

tried running sh install script

not getting /usr/src/linux pointing to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs./nvidia_installer in order to choose compile custom module

sh script fails

I made a typo in the post it looks like Klaus has the headers named /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 that should make no difference though it is still pointed to the correct directory. What error did it give you when it failed? And checking over my post I see I left out edit the /etc/modutils/aliases file and adding the line alias char-major-195 nvidia and then running update-modules as root and reboot, I was thinking about my install I've already got the line so that step is not necessary for me.
