The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.3 linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: make linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example. Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: $ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were: libc6-dev linux-libc-dev available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD. Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions. Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
