Ran into trouble as below.`


Downloaded nvidia Linux 
drivers.IA32 
<http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6111/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run>NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run 


for Fedora Core 2 kernel 2.6.8-1.521

Changed inittab to runlevel 3

do sh 
<http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6111/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run>NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
    ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your 
kernel f
    rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
    this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
    your kernel.
-> Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/build'
-> Performing cc_version_check with CC="cc".
-> gcc-version-check failed:

    ./usr/src/nv/conftest.sh: line 1: cc: command not found
    Could not compile gcc-version-check.c

    If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version 
check, sel
    ect "No" to continue installation.  Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort 
install
    ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used 
to c
    ompile your kernel, and restart installation.  Abort now? (Answer: Yes)
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file

        on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
        driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
