I thought I had all the tools I needed for this, but it seems something is missing. When I build the 2.6.18-8.1.3 kernel from source, I get this error:

Sure enough, neither of the two check- files exist, but I'm not sure which package I'm missing that would contain them. I thought I had selected all the right development packafges during install and with yum, and google has not been my friend on this one.

(Funny thing - I tried to do 'yum groupinstall "Development Tools"', which I did shortly after initial installation, and it tells me that they're alreayd installed - someone else had a question about this earlier today, too.)
I also tried:
yum list | grep rpm and got this: redhat-rpm-config.noarch 8.0.45-17.el5.centos installed rpm.x86_64 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-build.x86_64 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-devel.i386 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-devel.x86_64 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-libs.i386 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-libs.x86_64 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpm-python.x86_64 4.4.2-37.el5 installed rpmforge-release.x86_64 0.3.6-1.el5.rf installed
Since there's no current wiki on building kernels for 5.0 (or if it is current, I have already been through all those steps and yum tells me there's nothing to do), can someone point me at what I don't have so I can get it and get on with it?
Thanks.
