Linux kernel version 4 unsupported.
Just tried building the displaylink driver using the displaylink-installer.sh on my Fedora Rawhide machine and look at the results!
./displaylink-installer.sh -?
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: -?
Distribution discovered: "Fedora release 24 (Rawhide)"
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc24.x86_64 is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.
Hmm, 4 is older than 3!?!? Who Knew?!?! Need to fix the script.
This should now be fixed in the latest Ubuntu release

Hello, and please excuse me as I am not a LINUX person. Is there an older version of the DisplayLink that supports older Kernels? Right now my works RedHat supports 2.6.32-504.30.3.el6.x86_64.
Thank You

So I got it past that point and now it complains about no headers being found, even though I have them installed. Will work on a workaround there as well.
