I have had experience with that error message in the past. It means
that something is 32-bit and you are trying to run it on a 64-bit OS.
Typically the error can be eliminated by installing some 32-bit library
that whatever is complaining thinks it needs.

I noticed the other day that it was released. But my FF 3.0.11 on
Jaunty x86_64 seems to do everything I want it to do. Unless 3.5 can
get me more sex, I'll wait until 3.5 is in the Ubuntu repos.
