Kernel Programmers - Help!!

$

I am trying to install WS 9.0.1 on Ubuntu9 13.04 and openSUSE 12.3 Beta 1 using kernel 3.7.2.  When I try to compile the program (after it "installs" successfully) the  program itself  cannot find the header files for running kernel. .  They are in the proper place - in Ubuntu for example /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.2-030702-generic/include and perfectly visible from the command line - but in nautilus they are greyed out whether I run it in user or root mode.  I have to assume this why WS can't find the headers even if I specify thke right location with the .h files Something similiar happ[ens in openSUSE.  The posted fix for Fedora with 18 with kernel 3.7.2 works fine.  VirtualBox compiles under any kernel (of course build-essential and devel files are installed in Ubuntu and openSUSE).  Instructions for comiling WS 9.0.1 on Ubuntu include ln certain files namely

 

 

$ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.2-030702-generic/include
$ sudo ln -sf ../generated/uapi/linux/version.h
$ sudo ln -sf ../generated/utsrelease.h
$ sudo ln -sf ../generated/autoconf.hcd ..
This however seemsto be for Ubuntu kernel 3.7 as a guest. 

 

 

Can anybody help me out here - I'm not a kernel programmer.

 

TIA
