You don't have the linux kernel headers installed on your system, but you
need them to be able to compile things. Or maybe you do have the linux
kernel headers, but they aren't symlinked properly. You can choose between
installing a for-your-distribution-standard package of kernel headers
(like, e.g., 'kernel-headers-<version>.rpm', if you're using RedHat) or
installing the source for the linux kernel version you're running in
/usr/src/linux, and then running 'make symlinks'.
