VirtualBox guest is not working properly after installing on Oracle Linux on Virtualbox

I am not able to access the shared folder and copy paste is not working on Virtual box. On checking it show Kernel Headers Not Found For Target Kernel.

Solution:

After adding the following package it start working.

yum update -y

yum install kernel-header* glibc-header* glibc-devel*  gcc-4* cpp*  kernel-uek-devel* gcc* perl* -y

run the following command:
/sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup all

reboot the server.

Then rerun the virtualbox guest
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
