Please tell us what distro you're using. I expect you're using
something broken like Fedora that has a kernel which identifies itself
as 2.4.x, but is patched so much that it's essentially 2.5. Complain
to your distributor, or in the mean time, edit ldt_keeper.c by
changing:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,47)
#define modify_ldt_ldt_s user_desc
#endif

and removing the #if and #endif lines (line 29 and 31).
