I am attempting to install Dahdi on a virtual machine running Centos 5.5 and having various problems.

You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-238.el5 kernel
installed.

So we're running a different kernel...

uname -r
2.6.18-238.el5

error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct module’

etc etc

This article (http://asteriskfaqs.org/2011/01/30/asterisk-users/invalid-use-of-undefined-type-struct-module.html) indicates that those errors are the result of not having CONFIG_MODULES set in the kernel config. 

cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.x86_64
make menuconfig
[*] Enable loadable module support

Legend: [*] built-in

Any advice appreciated.
