Marv, Kernel sources and headers are properly installed. You can verify from http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=18415302&framed=y But in case, I will attach part of it <quote> Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.1 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-486/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.25.tar.bz2 /usr/src/linux-uvc.tar.bz2 For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-25 may be needed to support driver compiling. </quote> The last part /* For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-25 may be needed to support driver compiling. */ might be the one causing trouble for Julio.
