But it still does not work.

Answer 1

Linux kernel source installer

i have found a linux kernel source installer. it works !!! the script can install and prepare the kernel source for the running kernel.

This makes it easy to build kernel modules, both in-tree and external. It works on a fresh Raspian image and on a rpi-update'd image.

You can find many things concerning the Raspberry Pi and Linux on Github . You can for example find there several Linux kernels version sources (in branches) that you can compile to get headers.

Answer 3

to get Raspbian kernel headers you should install rpi-source and have the latest firmware

on Raspberry follow those steps :

1 Perform an sudo rpi-update you have to be on the latest firmware to do next steps. see [ https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update ] for details on rpi-update .

2 Install and run rpi-source to install the source code that built the latest kernel that you are running. Instructions to install rpi-source can be found at [ https://github.com/notro/rpi-source/wiki ] . This will create the correct entry in /lib/modules for the kernel that you are running.

if you have space problem error : Not enough diskspace (900MB) on /root , see [ https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/16977/download-kernel-source-code-error-not-enough-diskspace-900mb-on-root ] to resize the partition to be able to use the remaining free space on the SD card.
