Problems while compilation of a custom program under Ubuntu 6.06

Hello.
I'm pretty new to Linux and compiling for it. The problems that I faced during compilation of a program in KDevelop are:

Code:

In file included from /home/uranus/C_project/hid/src/hid.cpp:28:
/usr/include/linux/config.h:1:2: error: #error "Compilation aborted. Please read the FAQ for linux-libc-headers package."

Is there something I've missed? Any hints & ideas?

Thank you.

I would never claim to be a programmer, but the output you posted tells you what the errors are. You need to look at the line in your source code where the error occurs and figure out what is wrong.

Code:

/home/uranus/C_project/hid/src/hid.cpp:54: error: ‘wait_queue_head_t’ does not name a type

Tells you that line 54 in hid.cpp is where the error occurs and what the error is. In KDevelop, if you click on the error message, you will be taken to the appropriate line.

I suspect someone would need to see the source before they could tell you what you're doing wrong.

Thanks for you reply.
Actually I can't figure out what the mistakes are. Here is the beginning of hid.cpp where these errors occur:

Code:

#include <linux/poll.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/smp_lock.h>
#include <linux/input.h>
#include <linux/usb.h>
#include "hid.h"
#include <linux/hiddev.h>
#include <linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h>
void main (){
}
