make modules_install : unknown symbols

[John Francis Lee]

Thank you Steve.

I got the modutils-2.4.21-22.src.rpm as you suggested,
 rpm -Uvh modutils-2.4.21-22.src.rpm
 cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
 tar xzvf modutils-2.4.21.tar.gz
 cd modutils-2.4.21
 ./configure
 make
which produced :

Thanks again for your help.
