The download page says that the binary should run on a 64 bit machine in what it calls compatability mode. If I would want to run it natively in 64 bit mode I would have to compile it. But maybe it is so old that it would not be a good idea.......... http://www.xaraxtreme.org/download.html > > The command sytax for ldd is ok.
