The file it appears you need (assuming you're compiling a
driver module to be inserted into the kernel) would be part
of the kernel-source package for whatever kernel version
you're running.

Also, you should probably make a symbolic link,
/usr/src/linux, to point to the kernel you are primarily
working with. (The Red Hat packages used to make the link,
and some other software requires it to compile, but recent
Red Hat installations have not been making the link.)

Good luck.
