I found build file link is broken. the same error is repeating when i use the another driver [r8169-6.007.00.tar]. kindly help me

The Realtek NIC module from Realtek's site is written for kernel version 2.6.9. If you update your kernel to at least version 2.6.20 (I think), your NIC should work just fine using the Realtek module (driver) from the kernel. There is no need for you to do the hard work since the kernel developers already did.
