Hi everyone,
Could anyone tell me how to install the kernel source packages for
Suse 9.0 both with AND without Yast2. I am trying to load the drivers
for my NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 card on Inspiron 5150. The driver I am
using is NVIDIA-Linux-x86.1.0-4496-pkg2.run
The log is as follows:

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would
you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for
your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?
(Answer: No)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this
means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
ERROR: Unable to find the kernel header files for the currently running
kernel.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel header files for
your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have
the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel
header
files are installed, you may specify the kernel include path with
the
'--kernel-include-path' commandline option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find
suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the
Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

I am unable to locate the kernel source in /usr/src
Please advice..
Thanks
