check you have kernel sources or at least kernel headers installed. You can do it with apt-get – Ottavio Campana
it was problem with kernel version. the kernel headers are already there. – Bala

you need to change your makefile like this:

obj-m :=procmon.o

all:

    make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

install: all

    rm -rf /dev/procmon
    mknod /dev/procmon c 240 1
    chmod 400 /dev/procmon

clean:

    rm -f *.o
    rm -f *~
    rm -f a.out
    rm -f test*
    rm -f DEADJOE

dist: clean

    cd .. ; tar cvzf procmon.tar.gz procmon

If you get any errors like devfs related, your procmon code will not work on recent kernels, you need to change the code accordingly
