Re: Errors Building kmdls Myself

Paulo:

Thanks.  I added 0 1 to the end and got a little further, but I've had
a bunch of other issues.  I had to create a directory /etc/OpenCL and
chmod 777, but I still get a bunch of errors.  It seems like it is
trying to uninstall the current nvidia driver before building.  I'm
not sure that is what is supposed to happen.

I'm going to give up for the time being -- I have something else I
have to finish -- but I'll try to come back to this later.

However, so you (or others) can see the types of errors I'm getting,
here is a sampling.. I can send the full output if you want, but it is
rather long.

WARNING: You specified the '--no-kernel-module' command line option,
nvidia-installer will not install a kernel module as part of this
driver installation,
         and it will not remove existing NVIDIA kernel modules not
part of an earlier NVIDIA driver installation.  Please ensure that an
NVIDIA kernel
         module matching this driver version is installed seperately.


WARNING: Your driver installation has been altered since it was
initially installed; this may happen, for example, if you have since
installed the NVIDIA
         driver through a mechanism other than nvidia-installer (such
as your distribution's native package management system).
nvidia-installer will
         attempt to uninstall as best it can.  Please see the file
'user.log' for details.
