nvidia driver install gives failed message and exits
by someone else from LinuxQuestions.org on (#535VM)
trying to load NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.43.run, after all the lic stuff, message printed is
"the kernel header file
'/lib/modules/4.4.14/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist.
the most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in
'/lib/modules/4.4.14/build' have not been configured."
i have no idea what this message means.
searched and found that ".../build/include/linux/version.h" does indeed not exist.but
locate /lib/modules/4.4.14
shows many pages of output, and can also find the kernel-header-4.4.14-x86-1 file
1) since this is a running system is it correct that all of the headers are already configured from the standard install?
2) is this message showing a problem with the driver or have i not configured something i need too, and what might that be?
3) if the header files are already installed how do i configure them?
any helpful thoughts will be great
thank you
