You are missing some libs to build, get GCC and all the related things such as libc6-dev
You don't really need to compile a whole new kernel in order to compile kernel modules, you just need developer packages and the kernel headersPut your hand in an oven for a minute and it will be like an hour, sit beside a beautiful woman for an hour and it will be like a minute, that is relativity. --Albert Einstein

Well I have gcc and libc6-dev installed,i know that.
Wow do I get the other stuff?
EDIT:I did apt-get install gcc and it says its the latest version,and when i do apt-get install libc6 it says its the newest version.

Have you tried first looking for a prebuilt module of ndiswrapper fro your kernel, I'm sure there's one in APT

I'm not sure about the exact package in Debian with all the 'basic' headers, can you tell me?
