Re: Compiling problems...

I had the same problem. it's because the files in /usr/include/linux are actual
directories and not symlinks to the actual kernel include files. Gotta love
Debian :P Anyway, here's how to fix it:

cd /usr/include
rm -rf linux asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm asm

(assuming /usr/src/linux/ is the directory to your kernel sources).
