Im in a little bit of trouble, it seems "rm /usr/src/linux" removed the top 
level folder "linux" in /usr/src.

and ln -s /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.2.18 did create a symlink but then 
when I try to recompile I am getting:

dmcglone@buddy:~/.sane/sane-backends-1.0.6 > make

can anyone make anything of this? is this a result of removing my 
/usr/src/linux? 

if it is, is it fixable? or am I going to have to do a fresh install?
