The documentation says to run ./configure, but I don't know if it matters.

As the documentation says:
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make config

If you do not have the kernel source installed, it should come along on
the distro. On Redhat you would do a 'rpm -ivh kernel-source-$VERSION',
depending on which version of the kernel comes along.
