Uhh, and why don't you simply download the precompiled RPMs?

http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4-1.0.7676-0.lvn.2.4.i686.rpm
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-0.lvn.2.4.i386.rpm

They should even be installable with yum bye running

# yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r)

You of course have to enable livna in yum by doing

rpm -ivh
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.5.4.noarch.rpm

before.

And if they don't work for you please file a bug at bugzilla.livna.org.
By doing that and help fixing the problems everyone has a benefit of it.

Or wait 24 hours after a updated kernel is released -- we normally have
updated rpms by that time. We are working on improving that and make the
update process automatic with yum in the future.
