so i attempted to compile the drivers on ubuntu 7.04, and heres what it 
gave me:

i dont know if the following is of any help, but the site said that i 
had to run clean.sh, which uninstalles my usb drivers so i can compile 
their modified usb drivers and install them.

I also installed GCC, CPP, Build-essential, and updated my linux headers 
(which were already up to date, i just what they recommended)

its strange how it only works on kubuntu 6.06, cause i tried it on 
regular ubuntu 6.06 and it gave me the same exact thing
