Error trying to use make

[Guest]

Dunno if this is the right place for this question but here it is.
I was trying to compile a driver using make and got some errors

root@ubuntu:/home/corey1/Desktop/wdriver# make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 25: gcc: command not found
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: gcc: command not found

make[1]: *** [_module_/home/corey1/Desktop/wdriver] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic'

Help anyone? Pls??

Do you have build-essential installed?
