I notice that you are doing the compile from "linux-2.4.20". Normally, scripts expect to find kernel source in /usr/src/linux . If you do not have it in such a directory (typically, you would actually put it in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 and make a symlink), then the script that looks for "/usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h" would be unable to find it ... as the last line of the error report you quote indicates (but without the full include path).
I'm not certain that this is the source of your problem, but it is probably worth a look.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I tried to compile a new kernel (version 2.4.20) and I ended up with the following error message:

I currently run Linux kernel 2.2.22 on a pentium laptop and RedHat 6.2 and I would appreciate any help or suggestions as to where to look. Thank you!
