[SOLVED] 'make' having trouble finding '/lib/modules/<kernel>/build'

Trying to build the kernel module for my wireless card and I'm running into some issues.  I've found similar problems on the forums, but I'm up ~23 hours now and I'm having trouble focusing. 

<me>@TARDIS:~/Packages/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010$ ls
firmware       readme.txt                   wlan0dhcp
HAL            release_note                 wlan0down
ifcfg-wlan0    rtllib                       wlan0up
Makefile       runwpa                       wpa1.conf
RadioPower.sh  wireless-rtl-ac-dc-power.sh  wpa_supplicant-0.6.9.tar.gz
<me>@TARDIS:~/Packages/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010$ sudo make
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

most likely you are missing the kernel headers
use apt-get or aptitude whatever to get package linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64

happy to hear your problem was solved, now if you could edit the first post and add [solved] to the name it would be perfect
