Hello Juan: I am not sure why you are getting those errors exactly. The variable it is complaining about in your code snip is declared global further up in speakup.c. There are a couple of other points though I'd like to make because they sound strange after the way you listed the commands you used to compile. In 2.6.xx kernels you only need run make after the configuration stage. It also compiles the modules. Make modules_install is one word with an underscore in it so what you ran would have attempted to make the modules after it had already made them and then tried to install I don't know what if that had succeeded. You should have got that error when you just ran the make command so I am quite confused. Did you save the output to the entire process? I think What I would suggest is you run make clean and try again from scratch. You won't need to redo the configuration stage which is the worst part of the whole process. Then compile it again and keep the entire output with a command like this: make >make.out 2>&1 & This will compile the whole package and save all the output to the file make.out. If that completes with a done you're in good shap and can go on to the next bit if not send me the make.out file. You should compile that first portion as yourself or a regular user account. The next bit: make modules_install You should run as root. After that you have to put the kernel and System.map in place and run lilo or just reboot if you're using grub. good luck.
