Be sure, i unable to do that.
After i ran VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.sh i got this error: (Invalid Guest Additions configuration found)
this error related to -x11 scrip, with wrong library search algorithm.

- Summary changed from vboxadds fail on x64 systems to vboxadds fail on x64 systems -> fixed in 3.1
I think that this concerns 3.1 beta 1, not 3.0.10. It should be fixed in beta 2.

Here is no magic $ARACH variable, at least on Fedora 10.
You may need to use MATCHTYPE==x86_64 or HOSTTYPE==x86_64

I think I have fixed this for real this time, I will grab a 64bit Fedora 12 to test.

http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxGuestAdditions-r55438.iso should contain the fix.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Thanks for the feedback.
Really ?
I was able to install Guest Additions on RHEL 5.3/x64 and openSUSE-11.1 x64 VMs.
As root: # sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.sh
Or something like that... (typing from memory)
You need to explain more.
