I see all associated files in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat, EXCEPT "redhat-rpm-config" AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!
This is very frustrating because when I try to do this:
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
I get errors insisting that "redhat-rpm-config is needed"!?!
I tried:
find / -type f -name redhat-rpm-config
and found nothing.
So again....where the F___ is it?? Am I destined to go back to Winblows? (Btw, I have been trying to Install a Kernel from source for about 2 weeks now)

I know this doesn't help with your compile error, but there doesn't have to be a file called redhat-rpm-config necessarily. Think of the package binutils that also has no app/file called "binutils".
I have neither CentOS nor Fedora installed, but a look here tells me that this is how it is intended (scroll down to the bottom of the side, there is a file list): http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora...-1.noarch.html
Thanks for the quick response. I thought that too except I get filed dependency error staing that redhat-rpm-config.8.blah.blah is needed when I try to build kernel source.

Install/Update with rpm:
rpm -Uvh redhat-rpm-config-8.0.32.1.noarch.rpm
look if the package is installed
rpm -qa | grep redhat
look inside the package, what is installed and where it is installed
rpm -ql redhat-rpm-config
