Thank you Steve.
I got the modutils-2.4.21-22.src.rpm as you suggested,
rpm -Uvh modutils-2.4.21-22.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
tar xzvf modutils-2.4.21.tar.gz
cd modutils-2.4.21
./configure
make
which produced :

Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks again for your help.
Did you install module-init-tools first?
Something else to look at worked good for me : http://www.kerneltrap.org/node/view/2465
