Joe-
Yes, I'm on Fedora 3 unfortunately with this.

Sorry to be a pest.  I'm still banging my head against this, and if
you could provide the patch for this I'm hoping this will get me
through to a successful compile.  Somebody had suggessted just
disabling linux-cap, but that gives me a whole slew of new errors.
