No. You need to do one of three things: * Tell gcc that it should look in /usr/src/linux/include/ when looking for include files. This means hacking the makefile up a bit. * cp /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h /usr/include/linux/ * figure out why modversions.h is not in /lib/modules/2.x.x/build/include/linux - because it should be there. I recommend the third, followed by the first. The third may depend on your kernel version, I'm not sure though. If you make compile_UP look like this: gcc -c 3c90x.c -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer \ -I/usr/src/linux/include \ -I/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include \ -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 \ -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=486 \ -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DMODVERSIONS then that should work.
