            Bug ID: 60775
           Summary: Installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers on kernel
                    3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 errors out . . . can't find
                    kernel source files
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: Linux 3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 SMP
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Fedora
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: letourneau.ryan at gmail.com
        Regression: No

Trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.32.run proprietary drivers on kernel
3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 does not work.  Error;

"The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does not
exist.
The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in
'/usr/src/linux' have not been
configured."

All necessary source rpms are installed ;

kernel-headers-3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64
kernel-devel-3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64

and all dependencies.

Also downloaded kernel source rpm and installed but did not resolve issue;

yumdownloader --source kernel
rpm -ivh kernel-3.10.7-100.fc18.src.rpm

Tried solution here;
http://moldvan.com/blog/?p=824

Did not resolve issue when linking /usr/include/linux/version.h
to /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include/linux/version.h

But once linked, this error pops up;

"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."

The NVIDIA proprietary driver does successfully build on 
kernel 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64.

Tried uninstalling kernel-headers and kernel-devel rpms and re-installing, did
not resolve issue.

Expected results would be, for the NVIDIA proprietary drivers to find correct
kernel sources, and successfully build and install driver module.
