If you're using a stock RedHat kernel then the solution is:

1. Install the kernel source RPM corresponding to the running kernel

2. locate the config file corresponding to the architecture of your machine 
in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. Copy that file to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config

3. hack driver/Makefile to set the KERNEL_LOCATION variable to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4 (RedHat specific)

3. Make the DVB driver.
