Generally, this kind of error implies that you don't have a kernel
installed in /usr/src/linux.  I'm not quite sure how RH handles
/usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm, but I believe most systems
(Debian not included. =( ) have links to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
and /usr/src/linux/include/asm, respectively.  Check for this on your
system, and if there's no kernel in /usr/src/linux, that's your
problem.
