First, calm down a bit if you want people to keep helping you. We do this in our free time and are not being paid for it. Second, why is using a precompiled binary from atrpms not a solution? It will save you these kind of issues (and you are obviously frustrated reading your reaction). It gives no real advantage to compile from source. Third, Looking at the error below you changed the kernel config in the kernel source directory. Make sure it is the same as the one that is used for the kernel you are running. Look at [1] how to overcome this problem if you insist on building it yourself.
