My initial error was that I had not installed the kernel-source package
using rpm -Uvh, whereas with the actual kernel, I used the -ivh flag.
I've even gone to rawhide and updated my libraries, but the problem
still persists. From the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log:
-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version:

4363). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-4363), the existing

-> 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.

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

Is this because I installed the newer kernel with the -ivh flag
instead of doing -Uvh? ... I wanted to be sure that it worked
with my system, and then I would have modified grub to
make it the default boot kernel. NOTE that I updated my
libraries from rawhide, *after* seeing this message, and
tried again. Of course, the kernels on my system are
"~athlon".
