    You're right but if he/she has the same graphic card as mine s/he will only have a black screen. The biggest problem is compatibility.

    Just used your guide, and it worked great. No problems at all.

    Alberto, nvnews.net is a fan/nVidia news site, not an "official" representation of nVidia. Just thought I'd point that out. Although it is said that there are 2 nVidia employees on the Unix team that frequently hangs out in that forum.

    Thanks for the information. I talked to a developer of the drivers in there so I think it's quite a useful place to ask questions and to find solutions.

    I did something a little different. To find out where 'gcc' is located I did:
    Code:
    $ which gcc
    which returned:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/gcc
    then I made a symbolic link to gcc called cc so programs trying to use 'cc' would get gcc, with this code:
    Code:
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
    HTH,
