I am having a similar problem to this post: Failed to build EVDI installing dispalylink drivers (when installing a Dell Adapter DA100)
as in fact my output is
sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.3.54.run
[sudo] password di myname:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.3.54 100%

Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS
ERROR (code 3): Failed to build evdi/1.3.54. Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.3.54/build/make.log for details..
and the funny thing is that I cannot access the make.log file. If I try to cd there I get denied access in the build folder where the make.log file should be. As you can see from above my Ubuntu is 16.04.2 so I guess I don't need to upgrade the OS.
