Are you running an old distribution? From personal compile failures I can tell you there's big differences between the 4.x.x kernel headers and the 5.x.x ones. If you have the latest driver, it's may need the 5.x.x kernel headers.
Others will tell you what to do better than I, as the kernel headers are part of the toolchain. Post again with full details of your Operating system and date the driver was released. Maybe an older version of the driver will compile painlessly. Otherwise the best approach is probably OS dependent.

Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I'm using the Debian version 10.13:
Code:
Linux Jason 4.19.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.269-1 (2022-12-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I don't know what you should do, I was just indicating that there are more options than the two business_kid presented.
With fresh eyes on the thread, the first questions are why do you want to install "the Realtek audio driver", which specific device and firmware are you referring to, why are you trying to install it from source? Have you looked to see if it's in the repositories?

Both (Backported kernel or package) sound like good options to me.
