Hello,

Not sure if this will help, but.

Make sure you are surrounding uname -r with back ticks and not single 
quotes. I don't think this will work anyway :-(

You might have more luck with

ls /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux

Also, /usr/src/linux may be a symlink to the source of the currently running kernel, so check that out as well.

Try using the kernel-header debs instead.

apt-cache search linux-headers

if you see the one that matches your needs then try something like

apt-get install  linux-headers-2.6.15-22

Then to confirm :-)

ls /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-22/include/linux/
