I installed kali 2016.2 on the Cube i9, and I have updated it, upgraded it, and I have made sure that linux headers are installed. But every time I try to "make", the console spits out the error specified below, the folder that is missing is /build, the rest is there. If I manually create the folder it does not work either. Please let me know if you know how to correct that issue.

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build M=/root/rtl8723bu modules make[1]: /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop. Makefile:321: recipe for target 'modules' failed make: [modules] Error 2

If 'ls /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build' does not show a directory named include, then you have not installed the kernel headers, or they are not installed correctly.

Getting the same error on a pi zero, running raspbian jessie with Kernel 4.4.21+. I did the header installation. That's what it says when ich do sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

raspberrypi-kernel-headers is already the newest version.

Well.. solved my Issue. Maybe my solution can help you too. My problem in the beginning was that the Edimax How To Article (https://edimax.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/14000047172-how-to-install-ew-7611ulb-adapter-on-raspberry-pi) told me to run apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade before being able to build this driver. By doing this my Kernel got an upgrade too which made it incompatible to this driver. By using "sudo apt-mark raspberrypi-kernel" I was able to prevent the system from booting a different kernel but got the files for the new kernel anyway.

When updating the kernel-headers with "$ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers" the new (not used) kernel 4.9.* got the headers - not my 4.4.21+ kernel. I fixed this by downloading the header here (https://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mhiienka/Rpi/linux-headers-rpi/) as .deb package and install it via dpkg -i $pathToDownloadedFile. Afterwards the installation ran successfully.

Jesus Christ this is some cringeworthy stuff Why do you even use kali if you don't know what a Makefile is? Who are you trying to ddos kid ? Stop stealing my grandmas WEP key!
