[Slackbuilds-users] lastest nvidia slackbuilds does not include header files in package

[Greg' Ar Tourter]

Hi Ed,

Indeed once I knew that the .h files where not supposed to be there, it was
easy to fix.

by the way the package still creates the empty /usr/include/GL folder and
it is also still mentioned in the nvidia-switch script.

Cheers

Greg
