While you can add the kernel sources manually, it's recommended to  
install the kernel headers from the relevant package for your  
distribution (Ubuntu, Redhat, etc.) e.g.;
sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel
if you are running a Debian-based system. Most Linux distributions  
have a GUI package management tool, with which one can add  
packages....so one can do that from the desktop while logged in.  If  
all else fails you can download the matching kernel source (for your  
running kernel) and make a symbolic link to point /usr/src/linux to  
the relevant headers, however, using a package is better because it's  
likely your distribution is using patched kernel sources and not the  
"vanilla" sources that you'll find on kernel.org
