Not without seeing specific error messages.  I have not experienced an
nvidia driver build failure on FC3 using driver 6629 or a patched
version of 6111.  Which version are you building?  You mentioned using
the latest driver, but may not be aware that nvidia updated the linux
driver shortly after FC3 was released.  Driver 6111 will not build on
current FC2/3 kernels without the application of a patch.

If you were installing driver 6629, can you:
gzip /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Then attach /var/log/nvidia-installer.log.gz to an email.  Alternately,
post /var/log/nvidia-installer.log on a website and include the link in
an email.  You can also try posting a message in the Linux forum at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14.
