This is usually a link to your kernel sources. In my case (and probably 
in anybody's case) this link points to 
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5-i686

If this directory does not exist, you do not have your kernel headers 
installed. You can check that with the command

"rpm -qa" which lists you all packages that are installed on the system.

With " rpm -qa  | grep kernel" you can search for all installed 
packages, that have the string "kernel" in it's name. If you don't see 
any packages with the name kernel-devel, run the command

yum -y install kernel-devel

which will automatically downdload the package and install it. If there 
are any prerequisites it will also automatically download those and 
install them
