Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the fast response,
sorry but I don't understand, what does this mean "source of linux 
installed in path"? the source is installed, as when I look for the 
kernel-devel with rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel, it tells me that the 
source is installed. What do I have to do now in order to get it run? 
Sorry for these basic questions, bus i am a newbie to linux ....
