tlug: compiling error - please advise

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

Tluggers, 

Please tell me what to do, if you know: 
in response to "make config", then "make all"
within /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.6/ I get the following 
errors; think it has to do with the gcc version but 
not sure. 
also, a search dejanews showed that others had 
a similiar problem, but I didn't see a final solution 
to the situtation. Perhaps something justs needs to 
be commented out? 

"locate gcc" reveals that my system has the following 
directories and files: 

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnu/2.7.2.3

You may be mumbling "why not just go with a more 
recent kernel". I may do that, but I found that 
certain things in TL 3.0.2 cannot be used with 
a newer kernel. One thing that was bothersome was 
the loss of qps, a GUI that works much like TOP. 
Turns out that a new version of qt was needed but 
I wasn't able to introduce them into the system 
easily...
Rather than fight with this (small) problem and 
others that may pop up, I would prefer just to 
solve this pcmcia-cs situation and plod on with 
the older kernel...
