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. -- Cheers, Luca.
