patched kernel make error (Examined/Solved - -l_sensors 2.6.0 Linux 2.4.5-SMP)

[contact]

When I enable the I2C /proc interface (CONFIG_I2C_PROC) I get a lot of compile

errors while building the kernel.

I also tried to compile them as modules, that didn't work either.

These are the errors :

make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/i2c'

make all_targets

make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/i2c'

--- See news item on our home page for the correct way to configure

a patched kernel, or get our updates from CVS.

It also appears that i2c-proc.c is corrupted and

has two of everything, my copy is only 900 lines long

and you have error messages about duplicates starting at line 981.

If that doesn't fix it email sensors@… and reference your

ticket number.
