I read in many books that path for skbuff.h is usr/include/linux. I searched in Ubuntu, fedora and backtrack but can’t find the header file. Can anybody help me to find this file? Thanks in advance.

    It is part of the kernel’s source code, so you very likely don’t have it installed by default.

    Here’s how you find out which package(s) owns the file:

    ~$ dpkg -S skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-22: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-22/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-23: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-24: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h

    So you should simply install the required package, to add the file to your computer.

    On Ubuntu, you’d do:

    $ sudo apt install linux-headers-generic

    The trailing -generic is the meta-package, which will have your headers update automatically as new ones become available. See this Ubuntu answer, too.
