    The headers and sources are ok...

    this is the error:

      I am getting something like that on kernel 2.6.28-11-generic amd64

      maybe something with the amd64??

      kernel people've made declaration changes to those functions. my patch is down there:

      one tiny but, though - it breaks compatibility with the old apis. there's a way to make it both ways but I just don't need it and don't want to overcomplicate code.
