This is a bit like watching a controlled demolition. The building
seems like it's not going to fall and then slowly it leans and
eventually crashes to the ground.

I'm guessing this isn't going to work .. unless y'all think
otherwise.

Hi John,<br>
<br>
When you are compiling from source there are quite often additional
libraries required. In this case you are compiling a kernel module
so you need to install the kernel header files. If you use the
package manager on your system you will probably find a "kernel
development" group selection that you can use to make sure all the
required tools and source code is installed. (Did your CD not
include a readme.txt or other instructions with this information?)<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ross.<br>
