The '#error' lines in file '/usr/include/linux/version.h' are giving

#error "working kernel version (as recommended by Linus Torvalds)"
#error "These files are glibc internal and may not match the"
#error "currently running kernel. They should only be"
#error "included via other system header files - user space"
#error "programs should not directly include <linux/*.h> or"
#error "<asm/*.h> as well."
#error ""
#error "To build kernel modules please do the following:"
#error ""
#error " o Have the kernel sources installed"

#error " o Configure kernel sources:"
#error " - cd /usr/src/linux"
