John,

No need to go through all that pain.  Go to the SourceForge
location for ltc:

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltc/files/ltc/>

Now go into the 3.1.0 directory.  There you will find a .deb file
for the latest version of ltc.  Also the source file (.tar.gz).
To be honest, I'd probably grab the source file.  But I'm strange
that way.  :-)

As for installing 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system, that
shouldn't be a problem, so long as you've got the right
libraries.  You should have two /usr/lib* directories: /usr/lib
and either /usr/lib32 or /usr/lib64.  Red Hat and Fedora use
lib64, but I think Debian and the 'buntus use lib32.  The number
tells you the "bittage" (if you will) of the libraries in said
directory.

Hope this helps.
