    Error when trying to install Virtualbox Guest Additions on Red Hat EL 7.4 64bits:

    grep: /lib/modules/3.10.0-693.2.1.el7.x86_64/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory

    echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
    echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
    echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
    echo >&2 ; \
    /bin/false)

    Using VBox 5.1.26

    Somebody knows how to overcome this issue?
