Kernel include direcotory

While trying to install VirtualBOx I got the following error: Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again.
I have looked for them on the system but since I have ben on Slackware for the last 20 years I am having a hard time finding the kernel include directory in Arch. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Kernel include direcotory

and exactly how are you trying to install virtualbox? Just mentioning there is an AUR package for the not opensource edition, as well as packages in community for the open source edition
