Kernel 2..4.18-3 failing

Hello all,

I am trying to compile the kernel sources shipped with Redhat 7.3 but
am failing. I have install the compat library (kgcc) but am still
getting the following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/ide'

I am stumped. Anyone know what is happening here? I am also trying to
compile the mwave drivers but am getting another strange error so I am
guessing that I in need of configuration/patches.

Help much appr.

Are you trying to build the version on the SRPM disc? I have the downloaded
version of RedHat 7.3, and I discovered that the include library on the
install disk (under /usr/include/linux) could not possibly be the version
used to build the kernel. There is a bug in module.h that generates a
compilation error. I compared it to the one from the SRPM, and the bug is
not there. It looks like the SRPM disc has the correct version (but I'm
still looking into it). Maybe you're pulling in the wrong/bad include
files? I'd like to hear how you solved your problem...
