That's what it's saying: the module is compiled using gcc 2, and you are
using gcc 3.

If you have it or can get it, you need to recompile the source. It
appears you got a pre-compiled module using the older compiler. The
instructions for compiling source are normally included with it, but can
nearly always be found at the download site.
