Im trying to use make to build a driver..I'm new to the makefile protocol and I keep getting this error
What does it mean?
/lib/modules/3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64/build: No such file or directory.

You aren't providing enough information. For whatever it's worth, building kernel drivers is not for the newbie. All I can reasonably suggest is that you look at the Makefile associated with other, similar, drivers to see how they do it. Also, go to the gnu.org web site and read the documentation for gmake, which is what you have on your Linux system. It is quite complete and helpful. I have been writing very complex make files for entire systems comprised of 100's of modules and 10M+ lines of code, and I still refer to the manual...
One final thing. In order to build a driver, you need the kernel development and kernel headers packages installed on your machine. Have you done that?
