Module compilation error on another machine

[Harsh Jain <harshjain.prof@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am trying to compile simple kernel module. It gives following error. Same module compiles succesfully on another 64 bit ubuntu OS.Any idea what different in environment can cause this. Both machine are ubuntu 12.04. On 32 ubuntu bit compilation fails.
