I have been using the Nvidia driver successfully for months, re-installing whenever I upgrade my kernel. When I upgraded to 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4, I could not re-install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run. I know there is a newer version (1.0-7676), but my old card has been deprecated in that driver version....
When I try to install the driver, it acts as if I do not have kernel sources installed... I understand kernel-sources is now called kernel-devel... I am I doing something wrong? Overlooking something simple? I have been using this versions of the the Nvidia driver for months no real problems....

because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source
files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
