Here's the log file from the nVidia installer. It might be easier to
understand my problem if you see this.

I've already installed the libc package from debian.org, and it worked fine.
So no problem there. But the installer isn't picking it up?

li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your

rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp
site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

Have you installed libc-dev? I'm not sure if that is what the installer needs.
Have you installed build-essential? If not that might be worth trying.
