First make sure you have the kernel-devel package that *matches* your running kernel.

Then try:

make -C/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M='pwd'

Thanks, Yum installed kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 OK

(snip)

so when I type hybrid_wl]# make -C/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M='pwd'

why am I still getting

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

This indicates your *running* kernel is 2.6.18-8.el5. Please reboot the system to the latest kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5. Then it should work. To see what kernel rpms you have, issue the command:

rpm -qa kernel* | sort
