I was trying to install Parallels tool in the CentOS VM of Mac OS host and get the following error message,

An error occurred while installing the following packages:  │         
        │ - kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686                     │         
        │ - dkms                                                      │         
        │                                                             │         
        │ Install these packages manually and start the Parallels     │         
        │ Tools installation again. 

I try to install the dkms and get the error message provided,

Afterwards, I try to install kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686 with yum and get the following error messsage,

$ yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686

Setting up Install Process
No package kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686 available.
Error: Nothing to do

To clarify, both of the instances, the installation is unsuccessful. Then, I run,

$ yum install kernel-headers and afterward, I can install the dkms with previously mentioned command.

Then, I inspect the versions of kernel devels installed in the VM,

$ yum list kernel-devel

kernel-devel.i686                  2.6.32-754.2.1.el6                   @updates

So how do I install kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686 in the CentOS machine? I don't have a lot of experience with the Linux, so, please notify me for any mistakes.
