Hi Jason:
Thanks for the immediate reply, Sunday notwithstanding.
It seems that the patch file needs a correction:
Fatal error: Badly formatted patch file configure.patch. Could not
find end of header.
If relevant, in order to have the latest nvidia drivers, I am using
the testing version of Debian amd64, python version 2.6.7. Apart from
that, in a testing version, bugs that can last a few days can't be
ruled out.
