You need to install the kernel-source package. You can do this from the Mandriva control Center or from a console as follows,

Code:

#urpmi kernel-source

What are the results of running

Code:

$rpm -qa | grep -i kernel

[root@078625d-nb root]# rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk
[root@078625d-nb root]#

Well, you definitely don't have the kernel-source installed. Install it using urpmi or rpmdrake.
