Your build error is for 2.6.18-128, but your kernel-devel is for -128.1.6. Mostly, your problems should be solved if you run a 'yum update' and reboot. This will ensure that you've got the updated kernel (you probably already do, but a yum update will make sure) and that your kernel matches the kernel-devel package you have installed.
I noticed this: ---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 set to be installed
Interesting!
Well, I updated, rebooted and tried again - it worked!! :) Thank you!
I asked about 'make' as $ (I recall someone stating on a maillist that $ could 'make', but # had to 'make install'). Seems that's wrong; I had to be root to make.
Is there a log of 'yum update' results?
Btw, just in case I confused anyone:
Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great!
I meant to type "... I had 5.2 on it, ..." :)
No one said that root can't compile, it is just not safe to do so. You usually compile as a user, and install as root. ($ and #)
