error: nvidia driver and custom kernel [SOLVED]

Hello guys , I have compiled custom kernel with wiki help and abs and want to install Nvidia driver, but i got the following error when I try to compile with abs..

==> Obteniendo Fuentes...
  -> Se encontró NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run
==> Validando el archivo fuente con md5sums...

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Re: error: nvidia driver and custom kernel [SOLVED]

You probably need the headers as well.

Re: error: nvidia driver and custom kernel [SOLVED]

They should be in the PKGBUILD, its a split PKGBUILD currently I think.

I'm having the same problem.  What is a split PKGBUILD?

Figured it out.
