/usr/src/linux missing !!!

I suppose there should be some files inside /usr/src/

Today, I found that there's no audio output from my Linux PC.
Then I decide to re-install the sound driver by execute

Code:

./configure --with-cards=intel8x0

And it show me this at the end:

Code:

checking cross compile...
checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux
checking for kernel version... The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).

I go to /usr/src/ and found there's nothing inside. How can it happen !?

Try (using either apt-get or aptitude):

Code:

aptitude install linux-source-$(uname -r)

problem fixed

don't know why the source file located at a different place.

I just make a symbolic link to that directory
