Hi Brad,

  BP> You are correct in that it appears I compiled the module with gcc-4.1, as that is what /usr/bin/gcc points to.  However, I do not have gcc-4.0 installed on my system (a stock install of 64Studio 1.0.0 i386).  Furthermore, I cannot find gcc-4.0 available as a package to install from the 64Studio or Debian stable/testing/unstable repositories.  Am I missing something?

I've just checked, you're right, the 1.0.0 releases misses the gcc-4.0
packages,    with    which    kernel   2.6.17-2-multimedia-486     was
compiled. That's a bug!

As a workaround you can use this APT source line (put it in sources.list):

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool gcc-4.0

and then

apt-get install gcc-4.0

and it  should  do the  trick  (remember  to change  the  /usr/bin/gcc
symlink). Let us know, ciao!
