nc510f and rhel 5 driver problem

hi,
I am attempting to get the drivers for an NC510F to compile on my DL360 G5. I performed a fresh install of Redhat Enterprise linux 5. This OS is listed as supported by the driver notes for the nic card.
After the os is installed I make sure that I have gcc, kernel-devel, and rpm-build installed.
Next I install the nx_nic-3.4.263-5.src.rpm but it fails with the following error.
[root@ip-96-166 ~]# rpm -ivh nx_nic-3.4.263-5.src.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

So, I mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. After that the rpm installed fine.

I follow the next step in the install docs, goto to /usr/src/redhat and then rpmbuild -bb SPECS/nx_nic-3.4.263.spec.

That shows me the following error

[root@ip-96-166 redhat]# rpmbuild -bb SPECS/nx_nic-3.4.263.spec

fi
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5PAE/source: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [driver] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28869 (%build)

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28869 (%build)

This is where I am stuck. I'm not familiar enough with make to fix this myself. I believe I have hardware/software that is all supported by HP.

thanks,
Andy
