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 
> /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64/build -> 
> ../../../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.
