The default C header files location is "/usr/include" however you are using a package based system, so you could be missing the files.

 

You will need to install the package relating to the "linux-headers" .. I will also guess that it will be compiling, so you will also need "gcc"

 

Do this



Code:
uname -a
apt-get install linux-headers-<KERNEL_VERSION>
apt-get install gcc




 

 

To get the kernel version, run the command "uname -a" .. then replace the <KERNEL_VERSION> bit

Thanks a ton dude...yea it works now ...it was the header thing that killed me.
