Do you have the "kernel-source" rpm installed?  not the .src.rpm.

I did not have the kernel-source installed. I installed that and started again.

[root@samuel root]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0
kernel-2.4.18-14
kernel-source-2.4.18-14
kernel-smp-2.4.18-17.8.0
kernel-utils-2.4-8.13
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up_2.4.18_10
kernel-smp-2.4.18-14

The rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm

still ends in error.
