[vox-tech] compiling cvs nv

[Jimbo]

Greetings:

My kde desktop has been crashing.  Found out that there wasn't enough 
air going over my gpu.

With this I searched and found a program called nvclock.  After d/l via 
synaptic and trying it it wouldn't recognize my gpu (8800gtx).  I was 
fortunate to talk to the programmer in irc channel #nvclock in which I 
have to cvs the updated nvclock then compile it.  With his help he gave 
me the shell commands that then proceeded to unload a whole bunch of 
files.  He had to go to bed so I didn't bug him on compiling.

I have tried to self teach myself how to compile (via googling) what I 
have just d/l but finding that it is becoming a very huge obstacle.

If someone has the time can someone please enlighten me?  I have no idea 
where to begin.

If this helps this is the shell imput/output: (had to d/l cvs)
