It sounds like your kernel-source package is not installed.  You can
confirm this with:

rpm -q kernel-source

Once that is installed everything you need will be there.

One other thing:  I would upgrade your kernel to 2.4.9-31 first.  There
are a number of serious vulnerabilities in the 2.4.7 kernel which
shipped with Red Hat 7.2.  You can download the newer rpms from:

ftp://update.redhat.com

All the best,
Caity
