You missing the kernel headers to build the module

How do i go about solving this issue ?

This did the trick for me:

First check our kernel version:
joose@ArnoldVonHoffenstraden:~$ uname -r
3.2.0-2-amd64

Then install all the headers for that kernel:
joose@ArnoldVonHoffenstraden:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-2-all

I have the same problem, and I have confirmed that the Kernel headers are 
installed.

When I try to run webcamstudio I get the following:
