[linux-lvm] Problems compiling device-mapper 1.00.08 on RedHat 7.2 with linux-2.4.22

[Donald Murray P.Eng.]

Is anyone running LVM2 on RedHat 7.2?

I'm trying to build LVM2 support for a RedHat 7.2 box. We use a 2.4.22 kernel 
from kernel.org. We only want LVM so we can do snapshot-based backups of a MySQL 
database. 

Following the instructions in the device-mapper 1.00.08 INSTALL, I've successfully
completed the following steps:
    ./configure --with-kernel-dir=/home/dmurray/kernel/linux-2.4.22
    make apply-patches
    make menuconfig 
    (LVM, Device-mapper, Mirror (RAID-1) support all compiled into the kernel)
    make dep && make bzImage && make modules

So far, so good.

When I tried to build the libdevmapper.so library, it failed on an undeclared
DM_LIST_VERSIONS:

Any suggestions? Should we stick with LVM1 instead on RedHat 7.2?
