[pptp-server] Kernel Version Mismatch

Hi there,
     I'm installing PoPToP on a Redhat 6.0 with ppp 2.3.10. Everything
goes fine until I try
to install the ppp_mppe module. When I type: /sbin/insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/ppp_mppe.o
it returns:
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/ppp_mppe.o: kernel-module version mismatch
        /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/ppp_mppe.o was compiled for kernel
version 2.2.5-15
        while this kernel is version 2.2.5-15smp.

One thing I noticed is that the module is being put in the directory
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/ instead of
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15smp/net/.  Also when I open the module ppp_mppe.o
with vi and look for 2.2.5-15 I find kernel_version=2.2.5-15 in the
binary module. One of the modules that does load properly is ppp.o this
module is in the directory /lib/modules/2.2.5-15smp/net/ and has
kernel_version=2.2.5-15smp in the binary.

Maybe the ppp_mppe.c is not getting my correct kernel version? This is
just a wild guess I don't know anything about c. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,
Miguel Carvajal
