Look in your yum repository for the linux headers or devel version related to your current kernel

# yum install glibc-headers
will provide /usr/include/linux/kernel.h

# yum install kernel-devel
provides /usr/src/kernels/linux-´uname -r´
Only a few files are included.

'module.h' : You may need the full kernel source,
not available as an rpm package. ( Only as SRC.RPM.)

Hi i have downloaded kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.src.rpm
i extracted and i found there are lot of patches along with linux-2.6.31.tar.bz2.
I extracted linux-2.6.31.tar.bz2 and copied whole directory linux-2.6.31 to /usr/src/ , The code what i have written is
module1.c
[Code]
#include<linux/kernel.h>
#include<linux/module.h>

int init_module(void)
{

printk("In Init module \n");
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{

printk("In Cleanup module \n");
}


i compiled using
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I /usr/src/linux-2.6.31/include/ -c module1.c

The error what i am getting is
