Check your /usr/src directory.  If you are *sure* you have the kernel
source or headers installed that match your running kernel, they may
just need to be unpacked.

So, first figure out what kernel you are running:
uname -r

You should see something like this:
2.6.24-19-rt

So, I look in my /usr/src
ls  /usr/src |grep `uname -r`

I have the headers installed for my kernel so I see this:
linux-headers-2.6.24-19-rt

If you see nothing then you do not have source/headers that match your
kernel

To install the headers:
sudo aptitude install linux-headers-rt
I was assuming that you had the real time kernel, otherwise omit the -rt
part.
