You have to build the *module*, which usually means at least having the
kernel *source* installed (on Redhat 7.3, it's kernel-source-2.4.18-3).

I don't think you actually have to build the whole kernel, but I could 
be wrong on this.

Note that according to the mwave driver documentation:

#  Driver module is now NOT built by default. It is now necessary to
#  specify '--enable-mwavedd' with './configure' to build the driver

You need the driver module, if you haven't built it already.  If you
didn't run configure (in the mwave source directory) with "./configure
--enable-mwavedd" when you built the driver software, you didn't build the
driver module. :)
