Hmmm it should work. what I did while I was in /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4 was
cp -rf include ../kernel-source-2.4.18 I don't know why you could have gotten the error. But this is what I had to do so that I could install nvidia drivers other wise the standard header files in the kernel would not have worked. could also be the version of gcc you are running I have gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 20030626 (Debian prerelease) Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
