Hmm..I think your previous comment about the source not having utsrelease.h may have misled us a bit. The kernel sources don't contain version.h or utsrelease.h, they get generated when the kernel sources are compiled. Normally, we check that the version.h file exists (to ensure that you've configured/compiled your sources), but somehow your sources have that file, but fail to get the version from utsrelease.h (which is where its placed as of 2.6.18). Can you verify that the following files exist:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/include/linux/version.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/include/linux/utsrelease.h

And if so, send the contents of them?

I saw a similar problem in mailing list posted in august.
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006- August/002363.html

As Rob mentions, he took care of the problem, and releases since pvfs-2.6.0 (2.6.1 and 2.6.2) have contained fixes for it. If the check for utsrelease.h really doesn't work for you, there could be something wrong with the fix, but we haven't had any problems with it thus far.

You need to point --with-kernel at a configured kernel source
directory that matches the kernel version you're running.  Did the
kernel sources you installed put anything in /usr/src/?
