Hauppauge DVB s/s2 card: Problem installing driver

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2"
GNU/Linux 2.6.24-23-generic
'Build Essential' is installed. Reports as latest version.

I have tried installing this WinTV Nova DVB S2 card: card (see it here tinyurl.com/cw3upv) using two similar methods using different sources. Both give the same kind of problem. I have got the firmware down OK but I am having problems installing the driver. Below is a listing of the part of the installation where the problem arises (file missing for the 'make')

As you can see it can't find a file in the 'build' directory. Not surprising as that directory doesn't exist. So I made a 'build' directory but still it wouldn't work. I have some experience with Linux but it is limited. I am using Ubuntu 8.04, fully updated to latest version, kernel 2.6.24-23-generic .
Can anyone tell me how I can proceed from here please?

You need to install the kernel headers and sources.

Thanks for the reply Hans. I thought that if I had run an apt-get for update and upgrade the system would be fully up to date. Am I wrong?

Yes, this is not FreeBSD where a.o. the kernel sources are part of the base install ;-)

You need to install the kernel headers, linux-headers-2.6.24-23 and linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic in your case.
