If you're writing a kernel module, you can't use the headers from /usr/include. If you're writing a user-space application, yuo should use the headers from /usr/include, not the one from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0.32-generic/include. Let us know what you're trying to do, what you've got sofar, and what errors you're getting.
