Error installing NI 488 drivers

Since NI does not make a student edition of Labview for Linux available, I was trying to install NI 488.2 drivers from NI's website for use with matlab. I get an error :

ERROR: make of nikal kernel module failed, not installing kernel module. Please make sure that gcc and the kernel headers-source for the currently running kernel are installed. Installation can be completed by invoking the following from usr-local-natinst-nikal-src after fixing the problem: Otherwise report the problem and run '-usr-local-natinst-nikal-bin-UNINSTALL' to remove nikal from your system.

Installer is aborted.

What am I missing here ? Is it my custom kernel (this is a Debian Etch system) or some bug in the supplied drivers ?
