We need a proper kernel tree in order to compile i2c and lm_sensors (we need some kernel headers). Usually, the kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux-*. We find the exact location through a symbolic link found in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/. Please check in your lib/modules/2.4.18-26.7.x/ directory if there is a "build" symbolic link. There should be one, pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 or something similar. If there is one, but the target directory doesn't exist, this means you are supposed to install some package (kernel or kernel-headers). If there isn't one, but you have a kernel directory, you could just create the symbolic link yourself. Just remember that the kernel sources, including the config file, are supposed to match the running kernel (or at least the kernel for which you are building the i2c and lm_sensors drivers). Hope that helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
