Follow a procedure as below. The example is for x86_64 (also know as amd64).

cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.8_75467/ ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --noexec --target ~/TMP/ cd ~/TMP/ mkdir ../TMP2 tar jxvf VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2 -C ../TMP2/ cd ../TMP2/src/vboxguest-4.1.8/vboxvideo/  patch -p0 < el6.patch cd ~/TMP2/ tar jcvf ../TMP/VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2 * cd ~/TMP ./install.sh 

For i386 substitute x86 for amd64 in the above procedure.
