Make File error

[Chandan Jay Sharma]

Sometime back I faced similar error on my CentOS machine and after googling
I fixed it in 2 steps.

1. ln -s /usr/src/kernels/*2.6.32-220.**el6.x86_64*
 /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/*build*
2. ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/*build*/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/
*source*

Can someone help me understand why this 2nd symbolic link (source-->build)
required?

Thanks,
