when I try tail -f /var/log/messages | grep "local IP"
it prints (with a real IP address instead of 123.123.123.123)

I've been running Debian 1.3.1 with kernel 2.0.29
I decided to upgrade to kernel 2.0.34 but it fails during make zImage with
an error message. Can anyone help?
Here's the error message and a few of the lines before it:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.34/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
