Hi John.

Ubuntu "Breezy Badger" comes with gcc-4.0 by default, and you must to
install the previous version, gcc-3.4.3, for get your Nvidia drivers
working.

Another option for you is install the deb binary package, through
apt-get, or Synaptic, or.....

Good luck, and and wellcome to Ubuntu (I am Ubuntu user, since last
friday, whe i received the free CDs set that i request via web ;)

Regards.

Jose.
