how to use Huawei E153 3g dongle in FC13

I'm new to linuxing and trying to use Huawei E153 dongle with FC13, but had no luck.

"lsusb" returned following:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1552 (HSPA modem)

I tried "usb-modeswitch-1.1.7" too, but I couldn't install it.
Errors which I got are listed in attached error.txt file.

Can anyone help me out on this?

A brief Google search turns up:

For a different modem, but the steps apply. And you should install usb-modeswitch from your repositories, not from source, unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. Based on your error, it seems you don't have the kernel source installed, either.
