Hah ha!  I know why you're doing that!  I went through this a few weeks ago 
with similar problems.

My problem was that I was useing the RedHat sources which were packages 
incorrectly.  The solution was to make distclean before compiling.  
Somehow the RH sources were made for another achitecture before packaging 
and get the wrong things defined.

Are you using RH 8.0?  I find that I can bring my system to a screeching 
halt with that module and I'd be hearing about other experiences.  It 
works well for me with Mandrake.
