NVIDIA Propriatery driver - Optimus

I am trying to install nvidia propriatery driver which I downloaded from nvidia website. Nouveau is deactivated properly. I already installed 'pacman -S linux-headers'
I execute the following command:

sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.32.run

I am getting the following error:
If you are using a linux 2.4 Kernel, please make sure ...

if you are using a linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure ...

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to to specify their location with the SYSSRC ...

Why is it not finding the appropriate header files?

Why not pacman -S nvidia? Also did you even bother to read the bumblebee wiki article? You want nvidia-utils-bumblebee, nvidia, bumblebee and bbswitch.

Yup. BumbleBee Wiki is very helpful. Do NOT download and install nVidia like you are trying!
