Then, use apt-get install :

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.38

or

next, go to /usr/src/ with :

cd /usr/src

see what inside :

ll or ls

You must have :

linux-source-2.6.38.tar.bz2

we need to unpack that file :

tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.38.tar.bz2

look again what inside,  you must have :

drwxr-xr-x 25 root root weight date linux-source-2.6.38/

-rw-r--r--  1 root root weight date linux-source-2.6.38.tar.bz2

Next you need to configure :

cd linux-source-2.6.38

make config

or for GUI :

make menuconfig

Now, let's Compile the source (This will take much time, so be patient) :

type this on your source-directory

make
