I believe it is looking for linux headers (not source). You'll have to
apt-get linux headers for your particular kernel, then it should work
(I'm not at home where my Ubuntu box and notes are)... I believe that's
what worked for me.
If you can't get it, let me know and tonight I'll dig out my more
detailed notes. :-)
