Puppy Linux Lucid 5.1.1 & Guest Additions

Hi, I'm having an issue installing the guest additions to a Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 guest. I've had success with all other Linux distros I've tried thus far however Puppy Linux is making me scratch my head.

I followed the tutorial located here however it doesn't work at all (different setup or something?). Anyways, here's the error I get...

Makefile:23 *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

This is either from missing headers (which I manually added via the Puppy Package Manager) or the Linux source is missing (which I *think* I got too). apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic doesn't work on Puppy, so I'm in a bit of a pickle here.

Any ideas?

Found the solution to this in this topic: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59160

Perhaps the guest additions tutorial should be modified to include Puppy?
