F8 & Freshrpms nvidia-x11-drv-96xx problem

[Richard Shaw]

I just updated my FC6 server to F8 (replaced not upgraded) and installed 
the nvidia-x11-drv-96xx driver from Freshrpms which has always worked 
before and is working right now on my desktop. Both systems are running 
the 64bit version of Fedora. Below is the make.log file from  DKMS:

I've never looked at this file before so I don't know what I'm supposed 
to see but the "cp" command looks funny as it appears to be trying to 
copy a file onto itself. The module obviously fails to build and X fails 
to run.

Thanks,
