plustek: Thread: plustek-driver with Kernel 2.4.10-4GB

After an update from SuSE 7.0. to SuSE 7.3 I tried to recompile the Plustek  
kernel-module pt_drv. So I downloaded the latest version  
plustek-module-0_39_7.tar.gz and got an awful lot of error-messages as answer 
to 
make
and some hints, how to avoid them (install the kernel-sources and modify the 
Makefile). Perhaps someone has an already modified Makefile an could tell me 
how to succeed, or, even better, someone has the binaries (I think it's only 
the file pt_drv.o) and could sent it to me by email?

Thank you for help!

So where's the problem?
Can you be more specific?

I do not know if you want to work with an USB-Scanner, in that case you won't 
succeed. There is a mistake in the standard Kernel from SuSE. It was not 
possible to work with my USB-Modem with this Kernel. 
I found the reason in the support database from SuSe. For me it was th best 
to download a new kernel fom ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/RPM/
With Kernel 2.4.16 everything works fine.
Maybe this is the reason

Hi,

again that damned SuSE crap!
First: Have you installed the kernel sources?
If yes, go into the kernel directory
cd /usr/src/linux

if no, install them.

Then do a 
make mrproper
make cloneconfig

this should solve the problems.

I'm not shure if you also have to copy the /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h
etc...
In cas this doesn't work, have a look at the SuSE database and
look for "compiling kernel modules"
