Thx in advance

Maybe you need to include a kernel development kit? Look for a package called linux-headers.


By the way, this is a kernel module, not a program.

thx for your help. But can you tell me the package name. apt-get install ******
yes i was trying to compile a module.

No, I don't have Ubuntu, so I don't know. linux-headers is what it is called in Gentoo.

Another thing to try: see if /usr/include contains a directory called linux-2.6.xx or kernel-headers-2.6.xx (where xx is the micro version of your kernel). If you find such a thing, make a symlink called linux to it.
