Unhappy Problems installing the Ipaq kernel driver


Hiya!
I am in the final phases of getting my Ipaq 3600 to synch with SuSE 10.1
My problem is in the make process of module installation. My shell output states that it cant find the path to the Linux source tree.

Output is as follows:

# make
Can't find directory /usr/src/linux/2.6.16.13-4-smp
Edit /home/*****/downloads/kernel-2.6-driver/Makefile and provide the correct path to the Linux source tree.
make: *** [/usr/src/linux/2.6.16.13-4-smp] Error 1

End output

I tried searching for hours and cant find it.
YAST says the source files are installed
Tried a path that led to the directory that contained the folder 2.6.16.13-4-smp....no joy there

I am at a stalemate at this point...all other files installed just fine, just cant get the Ipaq kernel module built and installed!
Any help is greatly appreaciated!
Scott

I think the main problem is the whole Window$ software issue.
Hopefully things will get resolved.
Nice nickname...Brenda Lee is a family friend!
