Thanks for your answer. I applied your workaround but it doesn't work. I 
think the probem is elsewhere.
When I launch the nvidia installer, I have the problem before the gcc 
compilation. I just have a warning (the same as in the log file bellow). 
I've tried to change option, to use expert mode, to specify 
kernel-source-path .... No way...

I also have a problem of compilation with my webcam driver so it's maybe 
not a nvidia driver issue (problem in kernel headers ?)... I didn't find 
anything relevant in google, I think I will give up and stay in version 
2.6.18-2. :-(

I confirm that I use nvidia driver and not the Debian package.

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
       you either have configured kernel sources matching your
       kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
       on your system.
      
       If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
       you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
       installed on your system. If you specified a separate
       output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
       the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
       directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
       the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
      
       Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
       kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
       their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
       the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
       '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find 
suggestions
       on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
