We attempted to get InterMapper to run on a 64-bit installation of Debian (4.0--Etch--distro, architecture is 2x dual core 2.66GHz Intel Xeon 5150's).
Since there is not currently a 64-bit binary for InterMapper, We forced the 32-bit version (# dpkg --install --force-architecture intermapper_4.6.4-3.1-1_i386.deb). The intermapperd (/etc/init.d/intermapperd) script appeared to return normally and an immediate ps would show InterMapperup. After a few moments, however, the process would die with no indication. Running /usr/local/bin/intermapperd (the actual process) would fail with a complaint about libstdc++5. The 64-bit version was installed but there is no pointer to- or installation of- the 32-bit version with the 64-bit package. The workaround, in this case, was to force-install the 32-bit package of the library. Note that the 32-bit library is only available in the i386 (32-bit) architecture package of libstdc++5 at this time. Bug#455555, "32bit version of library not distributed under amd64 architecture" was opened with Debian for this issue (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=455555 ). The package maintainer has, for some reason, moved this to "Wishlist" severity, which potentially indicates that the fix for this from the Debian developers may be some time in coming.
