Hi Fawad ,
       This is the error which i got when
i tired to compile the code hello-5.c , the same code which i mentioned
to day morning,

[root in lkmpg-examples-2.6: 14:04:06]#make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build M=/root/WORK/lkmpg-examples-2.6 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build'

make[1]: *** [/root/WORK/lkmpg-examples-2.6] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

and one more doubt  in the code , i did not find
<linux/moduleparam.h> file in the source code and in the
/usr/include/linux directory. Instead of moduleparam.h file i found
param.h file, can i include it , 

Thank you,
         Badari.
