Quickcam In Debian/testing

I have a Logitech Quickcam for Notebook and I am trying to install it. When I do the "make" command I get this error:

user@host: /usr/src/modules/gspca$ make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/gspca CC=cc modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

I am using the tutorial off of this websiteHow to configure webcam in Debian Linux -- Debian Admin
please help

It looks like you need to have the kernel modules source installed. Try:

Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

And then try building again.
