Chris,

I have done it many times (I prefer to self-compile software.. not a huge 
fan of pre-packaged RPM's and such). I have just grabbed raidtools from 
ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/daemons/raid.. I have generally used pre3-0.42,
but .50beta3 has also worked. The trick is to either have kernel 2.0.35 or
to patch your kernel with raid 5 support.. if you do not do this, you are
missing the header files for raid, and that's why it complains. Let me
know if you can't get it..
