Unless you are using pv-grub to boot with your own kernel, Linodes use a kernel supplied by the host machine and make no use of kernel headers (or any other kernel-related stuff) installed inside the VPS.

Thank you very much for help

I used "yum install gcc-c++" and that was ok for my application

best regards
