He needs the linux-headers. After installing the headers it's sometimes
needed to add links.

/lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-KERNELVERSION
/lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/source-> /usr/src/linux-headers-KERNELVERSION

The headers in /usr/src will be installed by the package, but it could
be, that the links are missing.

The headers and the links to the headers are needed to build all kinds
of modules, this is not only needed for NVIDIA.
