[SOLVED] A question about installing VirtualBox

I've installed the virtual box, when I run the command:
service vboxdrv setup
The error is shown:

Code:

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules            [  OK  ]

Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 cannot be found

Looks like

Code:

yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel

and then

Code:

service vboxdrv setup

should resolve it. May need a reboot.

I tried it, but the error is exist, yet and the log in /var/... is:

Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without
Makefile:183: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

*I've created
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64
end exported it, but it didn't differ!
