I think, the script  is looking for "utsrelease.h"

since I think, you must have built the kernel by  yourself and the sources
for it  seem to lie under "/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.35.7custom",
I'd try the ./configure
--with-kernel="/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.35.7custom" option.


If the kernel is not self-built and the distribution kernel, try the
penultimate line.  Definitive take an ntry with the release number
matching  to your current running kernel



BTW May I ask, If you, by any chance, are trying this out on a rocks
cluster
machine ?
Just curious 
...

Greetings
Vlad
