    Virtualbox does not work, please help!!

    I have Kali 2.0, I have a 64bit laptop, installed virtualbox-5.0_5.0.2-102096~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb, this is what I get from the installation results.
    Code:
    dpkg -i virtualbox-5.0_5.0.2-102096~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb 
    Selecting previously unselected package virtualbox-5.0.
    (Reading database ... 323258 files and directories currently installed.)

    when I open Virtualbox, and try to run a virtual machine it gives me the following error:
    Code:
    Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
    Code:
    The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
    
    '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
    
    as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
    I looked around the web for possible solutions but nothing will work, this is what the error log says:

    Code:
    Makefile:185: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.
    please help!!!
