Comedi end Debian?!?

Well, I'm not a great linux user, but I've encountered some little
problems in installing Comedi with Debian and I've fixed them in a very
casual way.
I work on a Debian-Sarge distribution with precompiled kernel 2.4.26-1-386
and comedi 0.7.68 running on a laptop Acer Travelmate 220 with a
NIDAQ-6024E;

First I wanted to install Comedi simply apt-getting it (packages
comedi-source libcomedi-dev libcomed0) and the result was that without
having a
configured kernel source tree I couldn't make it work. Ok, but my kernel
was precompiled and kernel source packages got with apt weren't exactly
the same (package kernel-source-2.4.26).
So I copied the config-2.4.26-1-386 file to a .config in the sources
directory and compiled them. I linked those sources with 'ln -s
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26 linux'
and then I compiled again comedi encountering this error just after the
./configure:

checking for Linux CFLAGS... ./configure: line 3004:
/home/rph/tmp/modules/comedi/tmp-noicrwa/flags: No such file or directory

I tried to fix thi manually but I got nothing and that's all with apt-got
packages. After this I downloaded the sources from comedi.org and I could
compile them without problems but the output of
'comedi_config /dev/comedi0 ni_mio_cs' (as root of course) was: 'comedi.o
not loaded'......... So I copied the /lib/modules/2.4.26/comedi/ directory
(obtained after compiling the comedi-0.7.68 package) in
/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/ and the rebooting with the original kernel. And
now it works.....
I'm not able to understand why, it works but it's frustrating...
