Not able to install the ‘devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19’ package on a gentoo system with kernel version 3.0.0; previous and current versions of the standard driver (‘NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13’) install without a hitch.
Installation syntax attempted…

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

kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Just for fun I’ve tried setting the SYSOUT and SYSSRC env vars to no avail.
Has anyone enjoyed installing the dev driver onto a linux kernel 3.0 platform successfully?
