Hi Andy, 

We've only been building the binary-i386 32bit packages for Ubuntu and
Fedora. That's changing, but a work in progress ;-) I run the i386
32 bit packages on my Fedora 13 x86_64 machine and it works OK. 

A couple of folks have had success with UBUNTU by:

1. Installing the 32-Bit compatibility libs: 
     sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

2. Download the .deb package to your system

3. Do a local install of the .deb file, forcing the architecture:
      sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i file.deb

You may need to manually install some of the Python support libs that
would normally get installed by dependencies defined in the package,
such as python-libxslt1 as well. 

Try that. If you can't get it to install, you can always run from
source, I can walk you through that too if you like.
