I am trying to compile the nvidia kernel drivers and it is giving me an error about it not being the same compiler used to compile the kernel. THis is a base install of redhat 7.3 ftp install.

Have you been able to compile other packages successfully?

Do you have gcc installed? 'cc' is usually a symlink from gcc.

ls -al /usr/bin/cc
/usr/bin/cc -> gcc

ls -al /usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

One alternative would be to install the Redhat nVidia rpms instead of compiling the source.

I have attempted to install the source rpms as well as compiling the sourcecode. I screwed up the installaion and have to start over.

You can alway grab the nVidia RPM's if you get frustrated over it :)

What did you do after you installed the source rpms? Did you rebuild them into binary rpms?

I just use

rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm

and if successful, then binary (i386.rpm) rpm package will be in /usr/src/Redhat/RPMS/i386
