Steph, you worry too much man, you are missing the src rpm for the
kernel.

So your Linux source tree is incomplete.

What kernel src rpm you need is dependant on your kernel.

uname -a will tell you which you have.

After you get the source rpm it should be fine.  

Oddly enough, compiling a driver is easier than compiling a gui user
application for example.  Why?  They do not tend to have a lot of
outside dependencies besides the src tree for the kernel itself.

After you get the source everything should be fine.
