the error says that make is looking for the kernel headers but it can't find them on the path specified.

you need to install linux-headers then you can build a module.

You should upgrade your system first , because the 4.9.0 kernel version is no longer on kali linux repository , then install the appropriate kernel headers package.

apt update ; apt upgrade ; apt dist-upgrade
reboot

Then install the linux-headers pacakge:

apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Also you can use apt-cache search linux-image to find the available package then specify the package version to be installed.

The latest available linux-image can be found here:

apt install linux-image-4.14.0-kali1-686-pae
apt install linux-headers-4.14.0-kali1-686-pae
reboot
