If you have some kind of question, you forgot to ask it. Is this
causing you a problem? If so, can you be specific?

The kernel headers are a separate package and /should/ normally be
installed by default. If they're not, check the repositories of your
particular distribution for a package by that name, matching the kernel
you are currently running.

You can find out what kernel you're running by using...

uname -a

Hope this helps.
