[linux-lvm] Compile problem - Linux 2.6.1 + LVM2.2.00.08

["Dale Gallagher" <foobar@mighty.co.za>]

Hi there

I Cannot compile LVM2.2.00.08 on a system with the
following info.  Compilation error output included too.
 Help would be appreciated - this is my first attempt to
run a system with LVM and thought it best to get going with
the latest stable kernel and LVM to prevent migration
headaches at a later stage.  Thanks.

Slackware 9.1

/ and /boot on ext3 paritions and swap separate
would like to use remaining disk space with LVM

kernel-headers-2.4.22-i386-1
gcc-3.2.3-i486-2
gcc-g++-3.2.3-i486-1

Successfully built and running Linux 2.6.1 with:

#
# Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
#
CONFIG_MD=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
CONFIG_DM_IOCTL_V4=y

cd /usr/src/build/LVM2.2.00.08
./configure --enable-readline --with-lvm1=none

resulted in compilation failure... see below:
