Loadable Kernel Module - Cannot find header file module.h

[MongolianMaid]

Hullo All,

I am a newbie to Linux, and getting enormously interested ever since I have been introduced to Linux through a school course.

Coming to my problem, I am trying to create a loadable kernel module, a simple dummy module, just to get a hang of building modules.

When I try to compile my module C file, I get an error:

Cannot find file or directory: linux\module.h

It is not present in the include directory, but when I searched for it, I found it in another path: /usr/src/linux-heders-2.6.22-14/include/linux/

What should I do to compile my module? How do I make the header file available to the module code?
I am using Kubuntu, and Linux 2.6 by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have kernel-package installed?
From what I remember module.h is included (with kernel-source) as a dependency.

What is meant by kernel-package installing?
The only installation I did was installing Kubuntu through Wubi installer. Could you please tell me what this kernel package is and how I install it? Thanks.
