The header files found in /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux are
part of the Linux *kernel*. You should create *symbolic* links so that
they'll follow kernel upgrades when necessary...

        ln -fs /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/asm
        ln -fs /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux

These instructions are among those found in the kernel source read-me file
(/usr/src/linux/README, I think). If you don't have kernel sources, you'll
need to *get* them. The latest ones are always found on tsx-11.mit.edu in
the directory:/pub/linux/sources/system (available via anonymous ftp).
