yes I can do that ...  
--with-linux-kernel-headers=/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9/build

and, btw using this option instead works :
--with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_ssi_9
(./configure --with-afs-sysname=i386_linux24 --prefix=/usr
--libdir=/usr/lib --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
--with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_ssi_9
--enable-redhat-buildsys --enable-transarc-paths)

I dont know.. We need to figure out what's broken with the configure... 
Why
it's not finding your kernel headers in the right place...

-derek

PS: This probably shouldn't have left the list....

I'll cc the list.
