Well, if I read his transcript correctly, he's trying to use the
first method listed in the mol-modules-source readme, which is to
issue a make (actually the readme says "make install") from the
/usr/src/modules/mol/ directory.  And it seems like its using the
wrong kernel headers.

MaX, did you compile your 2.4.17 kernel  yourself?  Or are you using
a precompiled one?  In either case, you'll probably need to set
KERNEL_HEADERS to point to the right include directory before issuing
the make.  If you did compile your own kernel I'd recommend going the
make-kpkg route...
