Hi Suneet,
If you install the kernel headers RPM for your running kernel then you
should be able
to point configure to that and get the build going..
You can get this RPM from your distro web site. It might be called
kernel-devel or
kernel-headers or something to that effect.
If you download a vanilla kernel from kernel.org (which is
considerably different
from distro kernels), you will have to build the entire kernel yourself.

Check this URL for how tobuild your kernel
http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html
hope this helps
thanks,
Murali

kernel sources are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/. Here's an
output of 'uname -a'. I am running the same kernel.

I saw a similar problem in mailing list posted in august.
