on my jaunty system which has the Sun version of Virtual box I do: > uname -a Linux gauss 2.6.28-16-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 11 09:47:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux (I then check /usr/src) > ls /usr/src (and see the directory) linux-headers-2.6.28-16-generic (and so my Virtual Box installs) (you will probably need it for other packages, so persevere; find the rpm that furnishes the directory corresponding to uname -a)
