You probably have to install a kernel headers package in your SuSE virtual
machine before you can proceed.  I believe that on Ubuntu 7.04 that was 
installed by the base system installation when I just did a clean install of 
it on my daughter's machine after a hard drive failure, but I seem to recall 
having to install it specially on previous Ubuntu versions on my own laptop.  
Perhaps it's the same way on SuSE?  Or perhaps the kernel headers directory
is not called /usr/src/linux/include --- I know that on my Ubuntu systems
the headers directory is named after the current running kernel version
instead.

Since that's the OS that Curt uses, I assume he'll chime in now.
