kdemultimeda3 fails "WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: check for missing prerequisite"

[Bernd Kosmahl]

Hi,
I got this strange compile error. Comparing to this configure-warning I 
have a problem with the linux header files but I don't get what the 
problem is (and yes, I tried without any optimizations).

installed linux: 2.4.27
installed kernel-headers: Linux-2.4.27-i386

I hope somebody can give me a hint. I asked google and got several 
similar errors but no solution to this problem :-/
