Here are the steps I use to build LiS 2.18.0
on a RHEL3 2.4.21-xx.EL kernel:

  - Make sure you have the same level of these RPMs installed:
      one of these two:
        kernel-2.4.21-xx.EL
        kernel-smp-2.4.21-xx.EL
      and also:
        kernel-source-2.4.21-xx.EL
    Do NOT do any 'make' commands within the /usr/src/linux*
    directories.  If any have been done, reinstall the
    kernel-source RPM again (i.e. 'rpm -i --force ...').
    In other words, make sure the /usr/src/linnux* directories
    are just as RedHat left them, with no user changes.

  - Build LiS with these commands:
      # cd /usr/src
      # tar -xzf LiS-2.18.0.tgz
      # cd /usr/src/LiS-2.18
      # PATH=$PATH:/sbin
      # make
        Select the default answer to all the questions.
        The response after the third prompt should say:
          Will use ///usr/src/linux-2.4.21-xx.EL/include for header files.
        If it says something else, then check for any manually
        created links in /usr/src (e.g. /usr/src/linux) which
        may be confusing the LiS make procedure.  On my RHEL3
        systems there is only the /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-xx.EL
        directory and a /usr/src/linux-2.4 link to that directory.
      # make install
      # modprobe streams
