I recently bought a VPS with Archlinux which runs under Xen. It came pre-installed with the Xen kernel from the AUR. I am trying to install VirtualBox on it to run a stripped down version of XP in which to put small game servers. However, when I come building the VirtualBox modules I run into an error. The log file shows:
Makefile:187: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
Makefile:112: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
Makefile:108: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.Now, the package build [1] states that the kernel headers are also installed but I don't know where. I have checked /usr/src/ which only has the file vmlinuz as this is where headers are usually installed, yes?
So, any ideas or suggestions of which direction to take would be very helpful!

EDIT: The error is the same if either virtualbox-ose or -bin is used.
EDIT: I have also tried re-building the kernel to see if the header files had been removed from the pre-made image.

Ok I fixed it, in the Xen package build there was a line to uncomment if you wanted to also install the headers.
My bad.
