VirtualBox Guest Additions

I was installing VirtualBox guest addition into Oracle Linux Server 6.4 lately.

It gave the following error.

Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. 
Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again.. Stop.
I have searched around and tried several attempts to get it fixed. In the end it was from this post that I have found the rescue.

yum install kernel* dkms gcc
After rebooting the guest-VM, I can see that the mouse integration is working, the screen display is optimized as well. Hurray. It saved the day!
