[Click] click.mod.c:8: error: variable `__this_module' has initializer but incomplete type (help! Thx!!)

[Raj Sidh]

Hi, 

I am having a 2.6.17.8 linux to which I managed to apply click's linux 2.6.19.2 patch. Had .configure as 

./configure 
--prefix=/my/click_install_dir 
--with-linux=/my/linux-2.6.17.8 
--enable-linuxmodule

But I got this error at the very end:

  CC [M] ksyms.o

I searched the archive, but did not see a match for this issue. I am newbie with click and module making. There may be something I am missing in either. Please help! Thanks.

PS: Yes, I had to use 2.6.17.8 kernel:-(
