I have x86-64, Linux Mint + KDE, and it works well. :)
Anyway, Lazarus 0.9.30 is very old. You should not waste your time
with it while there are more recent versions available.
You have Linux so I would recommend Lazarus trunk from SVN server.
Once you have FPC installed, it is very easy to install, and it is
rather stable most of time. Linux users typically don't have problems
running this from console:
$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
More about it:

I agree. In my case I don't go anywhere near the standard Debian FPC and
Lazarus packages, instead I install a generic FPC and then build Lazarus
from a source release or from SVN.
Having packages in the major distreaux's repositories is pretty much
inescapable to make sure that the maximum number of potential users know
FPC/Lazarus exists. But the release cycle of- in particular- Debian is
so slow compared with the rapid progress being made by Lazarus that they
shouldn't be regarded as much more than a sample.
