Thee core issue is that the kernel-header subset in /usr/include/
is NOT adequate for compiling drivers.
If the FULL kernel-header set is installed or configured in /usr/src/,
or with a symbolic link thereto
as described in DOCs/Compile-failure.txt,
then Chris's configure engine will find them
and  all will be OK.

	so what this tells you?!
ln -s /usr/include/linux /usr/src/linux
ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux

	recreate the link for /usr/src/linux/include/linux
	not for /usr/src/linux
	you may need to create the missings dirs or do a fake
	kernel tree and link it

mkdir -p /usr/src/linux-headers/include
ln -s /usr/include/linux /usr/src/linux-headers/include/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers /usr/src/linux

	so this way is easy to change from the fake tree to
	any other linux tree (like a real one 8)

	good luck

higuita
ln -s /usr/include/linux /usr/src/linux
