Evidently you don't have a complete set of system include files.

I recall that the last time I did a Linux install, some of the system
include files were tucked away in obscure packages that weren't
installed by default; but I don't recall more details than that.
Go back to your distribution CD and look over the uninstalled
packages for mention of "include files" or "header files" ...

            regards, tom lane

It smells to me that you didn't install kernel-includes  (or however the
RPM package is called which has files under /usr/include/linux).

If you don't have a file /usr/include/linux/limits.h, try to find out to
which RPM it belongs, and install that RPM.

You miss the "kernel-headers"-package.,

Remember to keep your system up2date, by running up2date or manually
downloading the packages.

Install the kernel-headers package.
