Issue installing VBox Guest Additions within OpenVZ

Have the latest Vbox (4.2.8 I think it is, along with the correct extension pack).

Installed CentOS 6.4 (x86_64) and managed to get the guest additions installed by doing the following:

Code: Select all

yum install gcc kernel-devel
export MAKE='/usr/bin/gmake -i'
/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
Okay everything working fine so far.

The I install and start using OpenVZ because I want to toy around with doing VPS's. I reboot the VM and select OpenVZ, but the guest additions aren't working (seamless mouse basically). Go to try to do it again and it's constantly telling me that it can't find the kernel stuff (Specify KERN_DIR & run Make).

Any ideas oh how to get this all working together?
