system with speakup software already installed?

[Tyler Littlefield]

hello,
I'm only having one problem with this.
I have the modules directory for /lib/modules/$(uname -r) but there are no 
kernel headers, and the "build" directory doesn't exist.
uname-r returns 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
how would I generate the "build" directory under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)?

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
