You'd need kernel-headers package with the correct version (should be the
same with the kernel's). It happened to me once. The problem is in
"version.h"; each kernel uses it's own version.h. Unfortunately, when you
download kernel-source package, the headers (include files) are not
included; so you'd need a separate download.
