* snip*
You seem to be missing the headers for your distro. You may wish to...
a) remove all those symlinks you created
b) yum install kernel-devel (or kernel-smp-devel as the case may be)
- or, the less painful road -
a) move to a deb-based distro such as debian (or ubuntu if you're not well
versed in *nix) and get out of rpm hell.
b) install headers:
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
c) still having problems? Install all the dev packages for zaptel:
apt-get build-dep zaptel
