I think you need to:

	# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
	# make mrproper
	# cp /boot/config-kernelversion .config   (yes, ".config")
	# make oldconfig;make oldconfig

THEN go to the speedtouch directory and "make".  You have the kernel
source, but you don't have it configured for your installation.  The
first four lines above will do that for you.
