Kernel devel package

I think you might need to install the headers package:
Yum install kernel-headers?

Hi all.

We have Linux with kernel 2.6.18-238.9.1.0.1.el5 and I am trying to install a new ixgbe driver and when I run make install it says the following:

kefile:75: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
Makefile:76: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
Makefile:77: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again.  Stop.

Now for sure this error comes from not having the kernel-devel package but I tried to fin it everywhere with no luck.

It should be kenel-devel-2.6.18-238.9.1.0.1.el5. Dose anyone where to download it or an alternative way to compile the package?

Cheers
