How to install VirtualBox Guest Additions in CentOS 6(在CentOS中安装VirtualBox增强功能)

Q:The headers for the current running kernel were not found.

error in /var/log/vboxadd-install.log

/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile.include.header:97: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again

A:

安装缺少的包，并创建一个符号链接就可以了。

yum install kernel-devel gcc make
ls /usr/src/kernels/
2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686/ /usr/src/linux
sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Other way:

rpm -qa kernel\* | sort
#keep you are running latest kernel
yum update kernel*
reboot

yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms make bzip2 perl
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

some other solution:
