Author Build Core 6 kernel headers

Hi,

I'm trying to build a kernel header tree so that I can compile a device
driver.

I'm using the instructions at

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/relea...ernel.html#id29
67516

When I get to this step:

cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec

I get this:

[dave@leebeach SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:
unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.x86_64
[dave@leebeach SPECS]$

Can anyone tell me where I should look to resolve this?

Thanks, z
