Try yum install atrpms-rpm-config kernel-devel before rpmbuild (BTW why rebuild? Security concerns, custom kernels or maybe some changes that more users might benefit from? The latter are always welcomed in patch form :) > You're using the ATRPMs packages, and not the OpenAFS ones.

See above. For such a specific packaging question the ATrpms' lists would had been more suitable indeed, but in general most openafs/rpm questions turn out to be openafs proper topics, so people using openafs through rpms (or debs etc.) should not feel discouraged to ask questions here. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
