[linrad] Help with svgalib-1.9.18 & RH 9.0



Hi,
I have Red hat 9.0 with kernel 2.4.20 and cannot get svgalib-1.9.18 to
install. I followed Leifs' suggestions:

"The below works for Red hat 9 only.

1) Place svgalib-1.9.18.tar.gz where you want it.
Unpack it and you get a directory
........../svgalib-1.9.18

2) Edit the file:
........../svgalib-1.9.18/kernel/svgalib_helper/kernel26_compat.h
Change line 10 so it becomes identical to line 22.

3) Replace the file
........../svgalib-1.9.18/kernel/svgalib_helper/Makefile
by the alternate file:
........../svgalib-1.9.18/kernel/svgalib_helper/Makefile.alt

4) Type make install when logged to
........../svgalib-1.9.18"

However, I get the following error message:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/svgalib-1.9.18/doc'
(cd kernel/svgalib_helper ; make modules_install )
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/svgalib-1.9.18/kernel/svgalib_helper'
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20-6smp 2.4.20-6BOOT 2.4.20-6bigmem
2.4.20-6/kernel/misc
install -m 0644 -c svgalib_helper.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-6smp
2.4.20-6BOOT 2.4.20-6bigmem 2.4.20-6/kernel/misc
install: `/lib/modules/2.4.20-6smp' is a directory
install: `2.4.20-6BOOT' is a directory
install: `2.4.20-6bigmem' is a directory
make[1]: *** [modules_install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/svgalib-1.9.18/kernel/svgalib_helper'
make: *** [installmodule] Error 2


Any help will be appreciated.
