It doesn't appear to be linux-header directory issue. Please see the below

It is a 32 bit Ubuntu
root at labuser-desktop:/usr/src# uname -a
Linux labuser-desktop 3.2.0-45-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 20:11:31 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Do you think any issues with 32-bit?
Thank you

I decided to focus my efforts on installing latest OVS 1.10 as you pointed out. Hence, I focused to fix /boot.sh errors first
The warnings were not really dangerous as mentioned in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00131.html
I manually edited /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4 and added the "[" and "]" where needed. Then I went past ./boot.sh without any errors
However, ./configure erros persist. I believe this could be an error not related to Ubuntu version but ./configure may have to be fixed. I see the following where the errors are reported
KSRC=$KBUILD
if test ! -e $KSRC/include/linux/kernel.h; then
# Debian kernel build Makefiles tend to include a line of the form:
# MAKEARGS := -C /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-1-common O=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-1-486 ====> I don't see any of these directories on my linux machine. I don't know python..but is the arguments used from this line at all? It appeared to be in comments line
This is not Python but a shell script and that line is just a comment. I am wondering whether you do not have a " /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`" directory. I am conjecturing here, but try doing a "sudo apt-get build-dep dkms" and "sudo apt-get install dkms". That should hopefully get all the linux build packages. Also do a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`", if the previous step does not give you the headers package. Is this 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 server? It is possible that something is not right in your build environment. I would advice spinning up a new 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 VM and start from there.
# First try to extract the source directory from this line.
KSRC=`sed -n 's/.*-C \([^ ]*\).*/\1/p' "$KBUILD"/Makefile`

I found that the above fixed sometime last year

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
apt-get install openvswitch-controller command was successful. It claimed it has installed 1.4 version which is not what I want because it is too old. However, I just wanted to check whether 1.4 was installed correctly - I don't see any OVS components installed. "which ovs-controller" and "which ovs-ofctl" replied no binary files / links to the bin directories. I am primarily looking for the OVS active and passive controllers
Hence moved onto the the other installation option
ovs-controller should have been installed in /usr/bin/.
"dpkg -l | grep openvswitch" should you all the openvswitch packages you have installed.
You can always do a "dpkg -c openvswitch-controller*.deb" to see all the files inside that package and their paths.
ovs-ofctl needs openvswitch-switch and openvswitch-common packages. You will also need openvswitch-datapath-dkms*.deb for the kernel module.

yes

I installed all of the packages you recommend but didn't help.
./boot.sh should not give any errors. You should be looking at fixing that error before you run ./configure.
Read the INSTALL file in the repo to figure out all the packages that you need for it to work.
In addition, I ran ./configure and ran into the exactly same issue
I am trying to find what am I missing? Were you able to install the latest OVS (dated May-1-2013) on Ubuntu?
Yes. Every released OVS version >= 1.4 should work on Ubuntu 12.04 (previous versions probably work too, I do not know). The latest release is OVS 1.10 (git branch branch-1.10).
Thanks
Nagi

I was trying to install latest openvswitch/controller software on Ubuntu but getting into the following issues. Any clues on how to resolve the below?
1) First tried to get only the binary but failed as shown below
apt-get install openvswitch-controller
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package openvswitch-controller
Ubuntu precise? Else, check whether the package exists for your version.
You can download the .deb from here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/openvswitch-controller/download
And then do a "dpkg -i *.deb"
2) Then tried the other way to install
2a) ./boot.sh
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of PKG_CHECK_MODULES
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
I suppose your development environment is Ubuntu?
For 12.04, I need the following packages (or a smaller subset of it)
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool sparse openssl pkg-config
sudo aptitude install python-qt4 python-qt4-dev pyqt-tools
sudo apt-get install git-email libmail-sendmail-perl libmailtools-perl
2b) still tried to proceed because the above is just a warning. As you see below, ./configure has encountered an error as show below. Because of this error, makefile was not generated I believe.
./configure
