kernel 2.6.32 + nvidia

it's just does not compile.
I tried 185.18.36 and 190.36 and 190.42... and different kernel's too(vanilla and zen) always got the same error(sorry don't have log now, I'll add it later).
any suggestions?

Re: kernel 2.6.32 + nvidia

Maybe nvidia hasn't yet released working drivers for the newest kernel...

I compiled this driver successfully this afternoon.

    cd usr/src/nv/
    ln -s Makefile.kbuild Makefile

    mkdir -p $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/video/
    install -m644 nvidia.ko $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/video/

    sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION='.*'/KERNEL_VERSION='${_kernver}'/" $startdir/nvidia.install
}

post_install() {
    KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.32-rc8'
    depmod $KERNEL_VERSION
}

post_upgrade() {
    post_install
    rmmod nvidia || echo 'In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.'
}

post_remove() {

BTW, you must change my kernel version to yours
