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:

RPM build errors:

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-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.
