Yeah it's a lot like that.
Not sure if this needed it's own thread or if you guys would be ok with it being asked here but yah. I've got FreeBSD on my laptop and I need to put in the drivers fot the Nvidia card it has. There's an Nvidia driver port but it's not working. Neither is just just downloading the binaries from Nvidia and doing a make install. I get the following error:

quote:

"/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk", line 12: "can't find kernel source tree"
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-8776.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver.

I've read up on it and I'm seeing that I need to install a kernel-source package. I can't find any reference to this anywhere really. Any help?

You should read this chapter in the FreeBSD handbook, on kernel configuration and compilation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

And now I know. Thanks a ton.
