Hi!
I have downloaded the Nvidia Driver from Nvidia.com for Linux, when
building the driver it was not possible to create the modules. Can
somebody tell me what i made wrong? for any help, thank in advance.

This is the output:

- License accepted.
- No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would
you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your
kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: No)
- No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this
means
that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
