[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#548840: nvidia-kernel-source: Fails to compile.

[Jivan Amara]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Severity: normal

I encountered the same problem trying to build this using module-assistant;
an unspecified failure occurs during the build of nvidia.ko.

I worked around it by removing the package, changing to a sid repository, 
performing the module-assistant build, then changing back to squeeze 
repositories.  Happy to provide further assistance if needed.
