[SOLVED] Can't install guest additions in VirtualBox

Hi

I'm trying to install the guest additions in an Arch Linux guest (host is also Arch).
I have the guest iso mounted and try to run the autorun.sh, but I've got an error:

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
# Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display

The guest utils are available from the repositories as detailed in the wiki.

Iso isn't necessary. Just install the package in the guest.
Thanks for the help.
