Any help will be appricite

you need to have Linux kernel sources installed in your system - that should be the reason why "Error 2" is generated - missing kernel headers and source files.

so, i believe executing:

# yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`

will be sufficient to install kernel sources for the same kernel version that you are running in your CentOS system. also, i believe you will need to do:

# yum install gcc

because otherwise on later stage of the building process will get another error:

"make[2]: gcc: Command not found"

i hope those guidelines will help you. please, also note that all of the above is specific for Redhat-based Linux distributions like CentOS, Fedora, mythdora, etc and not required in the general case.
