huh? The FC4 kernel already comes with scsi support. Usually, scsi devices just work under linux. Before you try anything - make sure it dosn't just work all by itself.
I found this...

Linux Drivers: Our source code has been included with the kernel source since kernel 2.0.32, you will find our support in the source directory on the CD.

... suggests that the drivers will be compiled into the stock kernel. Alternatively, you can download the source and just recompile you kernel to add initio support. (Unless someone happens to know support has been removed - the website is way out of date.)
And, if you have source code without a makefile or readme in the same tarball, try opening the *.c file in a text editor and reading the comments near the top.
Should there be no comments (very bad programming practise) then you may have to guess ... read the gcc man page (to understand the following). You need gcc to act on the .c file (the *.h file should be mentioned in that file after a #include statement) and you'll have to link in the .lib file. The output should be an object code file with the same name and .o suffix. Stick it with the other modules, then modprobe to insert it into the kernel.
But you shouldn't have to do that.
Generally:
You should really be updating your kernel with yum. As I said, scsi support is already present. Use the yum.conf at
www.fedorafaq.org and yum update kernel. (Or yum install yumex and use the gui.)
You should also look at
www.mjmwored.org for an excellent install/post install configuration of FC4 (including lots of explainations of what everything does.) And a never-fail howto for installing mplayer.
