fedora: compiling results to build: no such file or directory

got this while compiling a driver on fedora 19
make: *** /lib/modules/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.


checked the build folder called
# ls /lib/modules/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686/build
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 Jun 28 01:12 /lib/modules/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686/build -> /usr/src/kernels/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686



checked the link which wasn't pointing to anything
# ll /usr/src/kernels/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686
ls: cannot access /usr/src/kernels/3.9.5-301.fc19.i686: No such file or directory


checked my kernel rpms installed and seems that my kernel is different from my kernel-headers.

tried a lot of things, but in the end, a fix for kernel directory from sergio worked:

# yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) kernel-devel-$(uname -r) dkm
