Installation of the nvidia package - pacman issues

I don't know if this is supposed to be in this section, but I don't know where else to put it.

I tried installing the package 'nvidia' for my video card, and it half-installed, but gave me an error at the end. So I tried to reinstall it by typing 'pacman -R nvidia', and it gave me this:

nvidia not found, searching for group...
error: 'nvidia': not found in local db

So I tried 'pacman -S nvidia' and it gave me:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (8): klibc-1.5.15-1  klibc-extras-2.5-2  klib-udev-135-2
             filesystem-2009.01-1  mkinitcpio-0.5.23-1  kernel26-2.6.28.3-1
             nvidia-utils-180.22-1  nvidia-180.22-1

Total Download Size:   0.00 MB
Total Installed Size:      140.62 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] (I choose 'y' and hit enter)
checking package integrity...
checking for file conflicts...
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
error: could not prepare transaction
klibc: /usr/lib/klib/include/asm/Kbuild exists in filesystem
*snip (there is a whole lot of the same here, the only thing that changes is the last item in the name of the directory)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

And if I try to configure X, I can only use vesa, and I know that Nvidia has sufficient drivers for my card, since I've installed other distros on the computer before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jordy

I don't mean to be rude, but please use the search function. The klibc error has its own thread, a news item regarding it, and can be found using any search engine.

Oops. Sorry about that.
