I want to run Windows as a guest system on my Sl6.3 box.
Installing vbox from the Oracle repository gives me an error trying to
create the kernel modules.
When trying to do it manually, I run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv -setup and get:
> Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
> Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
> Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
> Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64
> cannot be found at
> /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64/build or
> /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64/source.
and when I look for those file I see a broken link
> ll /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64/build
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Jun 20 09:54

> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64
It looks like that file should be linked to:
> ls /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64/
> arch drivers include kernel Makefile.common net
> security tools
> block firmware init lib mm samples
> sound usr
> crypto fs ipc Makefile Module.symvers scripts
> System.map virt
I'm going try just fixing the link. but it seems like the kernel-header
rpm has a problem. Or am I missing something? Would not be the first
time or even a rare occurrence.
