Hello Rob,
Not sure what making a symlink of your 'entire' /usr filesystem to
/usr/src/linux is gonna do, but I think you might be in trouble if
you go to reboot! I think you really need to get rid of that link.
It let you make the link because /usr/src/linux did not already
exist. You need to install the kernel headers package. That should
put a /usr/src/linux directory in place with the kernel headers that
your make package is looking for.
Good Luck, and be careful.
