WCG on Linux 64 bit

I tought to install Linux on another of my computers, but it seems there are no apps for it. It's a Athlon 64 3200+ and I installed (X)ubuntu 64 bit version. But when attaching to WCG I get the following messages:

Fri 01 Oct 2010 04:23:09 PM CEST World Community Grid Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks
Fri 01 Oct 2010 04:23:09 PM CEST World Community Grid Message from server: Resent lost result E200403_080_A.25.C19H12N4S2.206.2.set1d06_1
Fri 01 Oct 2010 04:23:09 PM CEST World Community Grid [error] App version has unsupported platform i686-pc-linux-gnu
Fri 01 Oct 2010 04:23:09 PM CEST World Community Grid [error] No application found for task: i686-pc-linux-gnu 619 ; discarding

Is there anything I can do to enable this configuration to crunch WGG, like installing 32 bit libraries or something like that (and how?), or should I install a 32 bit OS to get work?

Thanks for any advice,
Bart

Re: WCG on Linux 64 bit

Let me do some wizardry

Abracadabra-Gazoom http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,28642

The libraries I think are there by default, at least they were when I did Lucid 10.04 LTS 64 bit. If not see Synaptic for the iad32 libs.

Re: WCG on Linux 64 bit

Thanks Sekerob. Good to have a wizard with a magic wand around ;) I did do a search btw, but I must have overlooked the solution. I added the line and now the work did ownload. Now lets see how it runs...
