MOL Kernel

Can someone translate into english the following paragraphs found in the MOL 
Userguide (http://www.maconlinux.org/userguide/compile.html) under compiling 
the kernel:

<begin quote>
MOL consists of two parts, a kernel module and a user binary. It is crucial 
the kernel module is compiled using kernel headers corresponding to the 
running kernel.


(i) As a first step, check the version of the kernel, for instance by doing:


 bash$ uname -a
 Linux smac 2.6.5


(ii) If the running a kernel was bundled with the Linux distribution, make 
sure the relevant kernel-headers package is installed. MOL looks for the 
kernel headers using the symlink /lib/modules/2.6.5/build (or /usr/src/linux 
as a fallback).
</end quote>

A 'ls -la /lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/build' results in this:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           32 Apr 28 23:01 
/lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f

How does that relate to the "No mol-0.9.69 kernel modules corresponding to the 
running 2.4.22.-2r kernel were found" message?

Thanks.
