Because you did not install all required information into your PC.

RH has every useless sh--t installed. Debian is lean and mean.  So you
need to know you have to install development packages if you ant to do
development on Debian and you need to be able to understand what is
going on.

First run compile under "script" which is installed by "bsdutils".
Secondly, install several basic packages.

# apt-get update
# apt-get install bsdutils binutils bzip2 fileutils
# apt-get install libc6-dev gcc make libncurses5-dev kernel-package
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.8
# cd /usr/src
# tar --bzip2 -xvf kernel-image2.4.8*.tar.bz

Have fun compiling :)
