make default options / symlink?

I'm trying to compile a driver for my RAID card, an Areca-1880ix. I've downloaded the source, installed gcc, and make from synaptec package manager. However when I enter the directory with the now uncompressed source and run make I get:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/sy/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330 BUILD_INI=m
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
So just messing around I tried:
sy@Red:~/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330$ make -C ~/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330/
make: Entering directory `/home/sy/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/sy/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330 BUILD_INI=m
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make: *** [all] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/sy/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330'
Somehow the "-C /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/sy/src/arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330 BUILD_INI=m" is getting added on to the make command; and I don't know how to get that behavior to stop.
Any ideas?

Is linux-headers-generic installed?
Nope. I take it that is required....
Installing.... and same behavior. I'm getting the feeling that the build/development environment, whatever, is missing something. Unfortunately there is definitely something I don't yet understand.
Ah ha! Ok, the Makefile itself is directing make to that non-existent directory.
Makefile attached, and here is the relevant section:

ifeq ($(KDIR),)
KVER = $(shell uname -r)
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
endif
else
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
endif
I installed "gcc" from the synaptic package manager; but I apparently should have chosen "g++" which installs other needed packages as well?....
Still same behavior; I now think that make is working correctly. I will have to investigate what the raid card source/Makefile needs that it isn't getting.
I guess you need to install build-essential package..
g++ is a compiler for C++; you shouldn't need it unless the source code is in C++, in which case you will need it.
