You did *such* a good job there... there's only one problem [looks
further down message]... nevermind.  ;-)

I believe I can.  /usr/src/linux/include/linux, the directory in which
it couldn't find an include file, is a *symlink*, and as I recall, you
have to hand-remake that link if you upgrade your kernel sources, so
that it points to the proper tree.  Check your kernel install release
notes, or the kernel-HOWTO, and see how you do that.
