RTAI installation problem

Hi,

I've encountered a problem while trying to install rtai on my computer. For this tasks I have followed the step by step instructions found at http://www.captain.at/programming/rtai/

The computer already had Fedora core 4 on it before trying to install rtai.

Downloaded a vanila Linux kernel 2.6.10 from kernel.org and RTAI 3.2 

Did all the steps in the instruction manual 
 - tar xf linux and rtai
 - ln -s linux and rtai
 - patch linux with rtai
 - copy boot/config.. to /usr/src/linux/.config
 - make menuconfig (followed the recommendation of what to disable otherwise used default values)

Then I did 'make' - this seems to be working, was processing for a good 40 minutes then I received the following error:

make[3]: *** [drivers/ic2/algos/ic2-algo-bit.o] Error 1
make[2]: ***[drivers/i2c/algos] Error 2
make[1]: ***[drivers/i2c] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] error 2

I went to check the drivers/i2c/algos folder and I could only find i2c-algo-bit.h c file there, no i2c-algo-bit.o

To be honest I have no clue what to do now. Could I have done anything wrong in the 'make menuconfig' setup? 

Appreciate any help on this. Cheers.
