Thanks Dennis for the fast reply. 
No, I haven't installed the "kernel-source". I didn't get any messages that it was 
needed. I will promptly install it, and try my rebuild again!

Thanks a lot for the help! I will post back with my results.

PS. Are all of the packages that I installed required to rebuild from src? I am a bit 
concerned about wasting space on my hd w/uneeded packages.
