installing ndiswrapper


I'm trying to install the latest version of ndiswrapper with suse 9.2 pro free version (the version that comes with suse 9.2 doesn't work). i am very much a noob at linux .

I am following some instructions how to install it and i understand i have to install the kernel source code which I have done but then it says something about making a link

Quote:
* Make sure there is a link to the kernel source from the modules directory. /lib/modules/VERSION/build should be a link to the kernel source, where VERSION is the version of the kernel you are running. If there is no link, you'll get an error at the make install step. To create a link, assuming the kernel sources are present, use the command:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build
Its that bit I don't get. i can't seem to get it to work. i'm not sure exactly what i have to put in and where. Can someone tell me what exactly to type?
