I guess you're trying to run 'make install' in the Mac OS machine? That
doesn't make sense.  You should only install the compat modules on the
target machine (and I'm sure the target is not your Mac ;).

If you're cross-compiling your modules, you should copy them to the
target.  Or run the make install in the target (which would involve
copying more than just the compiled modules).

I hope this helps.
