VBoxHeadless: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.

The problem quite likely is that you installed an i386 version of VirtualBox while you need the AMD64 one.
If you installed VirtualBox using apt-get, first remove that version:
apt-get remove virtualbox-3.1

Next, get the correct installer and run it:
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.6/VirtualBox-3.1.6-59338-Linux_amd64.run
chmod 755 VirtualBox-3.1.6-59338-Linux_amd64.run
./VirtualBox-3.1.6-59338-Linux_amd64.run

As a last step, install the missing library using apt-get:
apt-get install lib64stdc++6

Then proceed as you usually would.
That's how it worked for me.
