Where is the dkms tool expecting to find the source?

The kernel source comes out of the src.rpm into the 
/usr/src/Redhat/BUILD/ directory by default, and then I'd have to move 
it to /usr/src/linux or /usr/src/linux-2.6

Also some of these machines don't have development tools installed, is 
there a way to turn this into a package?
