I am buliding a project which needs to complile linux Kernel. It builds /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile. I do have the dir /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/. But I do not have the dir Documentation/DocBook. I want to use "make menuconfig" to install it. I do not know which one item I need to select.
Please help me. Thanks a lot.

Generally it's wrong to compile the linux kernel into /usr/src/. You should download the Linux source code from http://www.kernel.org/ where you can choose the precise version you are looking for.
By the way, I don't know if Fedora does provide some particular kernel patches you should also apply (obviously at your choice), but I guess yes.
Thank Giuseppe.
Can I use make menuconfig to install or compile compile to get this dir?

No. the "make menuconfig" command is useful to _configure_ your kernel *before* compiling. Configuring a kernel means that you specify which functionalities your kernel should include.
For more detailed information, read the "README" file you can find in the Linux tarball or at this URL:

Bye.
