Very hard to say without more clue what you are doing (I mean we can

Is there even a makefile in "/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/build"
as that error would occur even if you hadn't unpacked or prepared
the build environment correctly.

Seems an odd place to put a build directory to me!

Its common to have a symlink from /lib/modules/whatever/build to the kernel 
source of "whatever". I think this was introduced in 2.6 as part of the 
effort to not end up with a "linux" symlink in /usr/src/ that pointed to the 
kernel source as this caused chaos if you have more that one kernel source 
and kernel installed
