I am trying to install a piece of software that uses an install.pl script which looks to /usr/src/linux/include/ for my kernel headers...but it never finds them or that directory/link.

I've run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers" so I am pretty sure they are installed.

My "rpm -qa | grep kernel" returns:

I'm trying to install the Guest Additions in VirtualBox 4.04.on ubuntu 11.10

Do you have you an ideas please?
