VirtualBox x86_64 package

Why there is not a virtual box x86_64 package?

- Not a big problem, I got it from aur, just curiosity -

i was surprised too! although there is a package in archlinux.fr, i think..
i think it should be added to one of the official repositories though.

The open-source-edition does not build on x86_64.  I guess the version on archlinux.fr is the binary release with a lib32 setup.

aren't the 32bit libs only necessary to build the 32bit guest-additions? otherwise it should build on x64, or?

i'm running the archlinux.fr binary 64bit version, though i don't see any 32bit libs installed
