Problem compiling ruby kernel. Urgent. Please help!

[dave g. <giv...@ya...>]

I am trying to get multiple independent framebuffer
support. Apparently, that is only available in a patch
to the 2.5 kernel series.

I downloaded the source for the 2.5.59 kernel and
checked out the contents of ruby/linux from the
linuxconsole CVS tree.

I am compiling using gcc 3.2.2 on Redhat9 on an i686.

When I tried to compile it, I got this error (below).
I tried removing -Wall from the Makefile, but the
error remained. 


Perhaps I am compiling the wrong kernel or didn't
patch it with the correct files? 

How can I fix this compile error or compile something
else to get multiple framebuffer support?

Is it possible to get multiple framebuffer support for
a 2.6 series kernel?

:)
