VirtualBox problem

So I am following the wiki on how to install virtualbox. However I have ran into a problem.

Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Machine
Interface: 
IMachine {662c175e-a69d-40b8-a77a-1d719d0ab062}

 Kernel driver not installed (vboxdrv) is either loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing 

/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup

So I run that as root, and great more problems.

Makefile:167: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.

Any ideas?

Re: VirtualBox problem

Is kernel26-headers properly installed? Did you reboot after a kernel upgrade?
