[ltp] Thinkpad 600 Modem Question

Right now, I'm running RedHat 7.1 on my Thinkpad 600.  I've finally gotten 
around to downloading the modem drivers for it and trying to install them, 
though I've hit something of a speed bump.  For the record, I'm pretty durn 
new to Linux, so I'm willing to bet that it's something stupid that I'm 
overlooking, but... I haven't managed to find a way past this.

When I run ./configure (in the appropriate directory), I get the error:

configure: error: *** You must specify the correct path to your linux kernel 
source tree in order to build the driver module.

Now, --help seems to say that to do so, I should run the command as:

./configure --with-linuxsrcdir=DIR  DIR, being the location of said source 
tree.

That's well and good, but I'm having trouble finding the specific path to 
it.  I've tried /usr/src/linux, /usr/src/linux/linux-.2.16, /usr/src/
redhat, /usr/src/linux/drivers, and /usr/src/mwavem-1.0.2 (the location of 
the drivers).  No love; I get the same error each time.  Any ideas or help 
would be *really* appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard
