Summary: modules won't compile

Initial Comment:
linux:~/open-vm-tools-8.8.2-590212# ./configure \
--without-icu \ 
--without-dnet \
--without-x\
--without-gtkmm\
--without-gtk2\
--disable-docs\
--disable-unity \
--disable-tests \
--without-pam \
--with-linuxdir=/lib/modules/2.6.35.14/ \
--prefix=/usr \
LIBS="-ltirpc" \
CFLAGS="-Wno-implicit-function-declaration"

Everything OK.

linux:~/open-vm-tools-8.8.2-590212# make

Using standalone build system.

Makefile:163: Makefile.normal: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.normal'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/open-vm-tools-8.8.2-590212/modules/linux/vmsync'
make[1]: *** [vmsync] Error 2


Why I can't have the modules build? 

/lib/modules/2.6.35.14/ contains linux headers.
Also there is no Makefile.normal under vmsync/. Only Makefile & Makefile.kernel

Message:
You need an equivalent of kernel-devel package (at least that's what it is
called in Fedora/RHEL). What distribution is this?
