Nope, the kernel-headers package should hold.. well, the headers 
required to compile modules and other kernel based stuff, the devel 
package holds the kernel sources.

[root at wibble 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686]# rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5

and rpm -ql on the kernel-headers shows all files under /usr/include

um, try running it under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el15-i686/

If you do not have a makefile there, then I would suggest that you do 
not have a complete kernel-devel package installed and you shoudl 
probably download and install it again.

You should possibly look at upgrading your kernel while you are at it to 
the latest version

[root at wibble 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686]# pwd
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686
[root at wibble 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686]# make menuconfig
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
.
.
etc

This is being done with the packages installed above, make sure you have 
them on your system.
