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.
