I'll bet you haven't installed the development headers for the kernel.  Try "yum install kernel-headers."  That's different than the kernel itself.  If that doesn't work, you may need to install the full development stuff "kernel-devel"

Or,, if you want to be specific, for me it's

kernel-headers-3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64
kernel-3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64

but of course that would depend on what kernel you are running...
