Linux Debian Kernel sources missing error.

Check if the online reports or updates are configured properly. If there are missing files, manually download them from the net and reconfigure. If this did not work, you can try another option by going to the terminal window. Make sure you have root permissions to install packages needed for building kernel modules. At the command prompt, type 'uname -r' then 'apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) make gcc' then press enter. In the next line of the command, uname -r should already have been replaced by the reult of the first command. When you have finished try to install the Parallel package again.
