Looking at your original question it seems this is about the headers in /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r). (That is the location used in Fedora.) But why do you need those headers? See, these headers in that directory are for building external modules. Ie, modules not already installed in /lib/modules/$(uname -r). But that would be easier to do from within the directory in your home directory where you downloaded the kernel's source code. And _please_ don't top post in your answer. That makes it even harder to determine what it is you actually want to do.
