Do you have the agpgart module loaded? Try to do a modprobe agpgart. Then
try to recompile the kernel module, but if you look in the README there is an
option SYSINCLUDE= that you will need to use. If you don't then when
compiling it will try to use /usr/include instead of the actual source. So I
just did a make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include with the agpgart module
loaded and it compiled fine. So actually removing the headers wasn't the
right move. This was already discussed on the pinstripe list because I was
going through the exact same problem that you were. I also tried removing
the headers and making symlinks and a lot of other noise, even downgrading
gcc. So you may want to do a re-install to make sure that all is back in
place and then do what I suggested above, that should do you ok. Excuse me
while I ramble on a little. Whew.
