compile failure on 2.4.18 kernel

I have a 2.4.18 kernel (a Suse 8.0 install) that causes ftape 4.04a to fail to 
compile.  Specifically I get:

In checking out ftape-init.h:70, it appears that the task struct that's being 
referenced does not have the proper member.  I would guess that it's expecting 
2.2 kernel header files (not that I have a 2.2 machine to check).  Has anyone 
been able to make this work on a 2.4.18 kernel?

This is for an IOMega Ditto 2G on parallel port device, so from what I read, 
ftape v4.x is required.

TIA for any help!
Kevin
