Hello Mark,

Is there any easy way to use the canned Debian package, made for the

There's no need to ditch your 64-bit installation. i386 binaries can run in
a 64-bit system. However, if the program is dynamically complied (as quackle
is), then you also need the corresponding 32-bit libraries installed on your
system. Most 64-bit Linux distros ship with the 32-bit versions of most
common system libraries, so that they can execute 32-bit programs without
any problems. Read the following 2 articles, which explain this idea
further, and offer suggestions for automating the process of getting the
required libraries:
