I have used opensuse for years and never had a problem with installing nvidia drivers until my experience with opensuse 13.1 64 bit. I did the update from 12.2. The stock driver did not like my nvidia geforce 6200 video card, so I had to open a second terminal because as soon as the gui loaded, the screen became useless. In a text terminal, I opened yast and installed the nvidia driver. Now I am trying to install the 3d driver. I tried 1 click install. I goes through the routine of installing fine, but no 3d. I then tried the hard way method of downloading the driver and running it in a root text terminal after booting to run level 3 (init 3). I made sure make, gcc compiler and kernel sources are installed. After running the installer, it stops and generates an error message. The following is a copy/paste from the end of the log file:

Thank you in advance for your help.
