Both are completely harmless.

Yes, you need 0.9.60.

Try the precompiled RPM (glibc-2.2). Make sure you uninstall 0.9.59
first:

        rpm -e mol
        rpm -e mol-kmods

The 0.9.60 binaries contain a module compiled for 2.2.19, so
it should work out-of-the-box. If it doesn't work, please tell me.
