[Slackbuilds-users] Can't build nvidia-kernel-410.78 with kernel 4.4.172

[Dominik Drobek]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to build the NVIDIA proprietary kernel module for the 
most recent kernel (4.4.172) on Slackware-14.2? I'm getting the 
following error:

(I was using sbopkg only to build the package - not to upgrade it.)
