What version of XFree86 you running? You may not have the correct binaries needed for nvidia compile to work....

Whatever version comes with Mandrake 9.2

It has to do with your compiling your video card driver though...gcc is what it uses to compile the nvidia driver

not graphics card, sound card *

I don't have much Mandrake experience, but you may want to upgrade your kernel to 2.4.25. Many issues have been fixed since the 2.4.22 release ranging from driver issues, to exploit fixes. I myself have had issues compiling kernel drivers, and an update to 2.4.25 took care of my build issues. (I was previously using 2.4.22 also, but for slackware) Compiling a kernel can be a bit troublesome the first time, but lots of help and documentation is available for this. Doesn't mandrake even provide an update tool for this?

As a side note, I highly recommend that anyone running a kernel prior to 2.4.25 upgrade soon!
