  Maybe it's not your fault. Does the directory /usr/include/asm exist? If
not, make sure you have the linux kernel sources installed. If it's a
broken link, you have to fix it:
	rm /usr/include/asm
	ln -s /usr/include/asm /usr/src/linux/.../asm-i386
or something like that (I don't remember exactly).
