Why FC5? http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-July/msg00001.html
If it is a server, you should use something more up-to-date like FC7 or RHEL/Centos.

# yum install kernel-source-`uname -r`
will install the kernel source package for the currently running kernel.

I've had this issue too with a client. I had to drill it into him that Fedora doesn't ship the source any more. Installing sources (even with yum) is a pain. We simply installed CentOS 4.4 and it worked out of the box. My suggestion - Take the effort now and avoid frustration in the future. Uninstall Fedora and install a server-class OS. Have money? RHEL. No? CentOS.

FC5 is discontinued.

This error is not cryptic. It needs the kernel source so download the kernel source RPM and install it. If you need help with that, post in this list.
Now, the advice part.
1. Fedora has a short development cycle. In 1 year they obsolete their older versions. They dont support it any more. So if you're looking to build a server Fedora isn't really the way to go unless you are ok to reinstall the OS every year or so.
2. Use Debian / Gentoo. They're really amazing and are good as server OSes. Someone already suggested Cent OS. Cent OS is same as RHEL except the proprietary stuff.

Eh? Proprietary?
Centos = RHEL minus RedHat trademarks.

Now that I think about it. Trademarks are proprietary items too. Sorry for the noise.

trademarks have nothing to do with software - the question of open vs closed does not arise. As far as I know, even the name linux is trademarked somewhere or the other. So calling a trademark 'proprietary' is meaningless.

Centos = RHEL minus (RedHat trademarks plus RedHat support). Subject to correction, when you 'buy' RHEL, you pay service tax and not sales tax.
