Video card

[joel]

Hmmm...
I recompiled the kernel, and I get the same error.
Could the nvidia installer be finding an old compiler?
I can't find out what nvidia is doing with the install  script because 
any attempt to modify it causes an integrity error and it won't run.
Well, I have to mow the lawn.
