Oliver, Looks like the Linux emulator is only 32 bit. Here is the error I get after installing the emulator and running the /usr/compat/linux/bin/bash shell.
This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture. Please download the x86 bundle. I would like to see if I can get the x64 to install but if not I think the x86 will but it may have reduced performance since I am looking to run virtual machines that in effect would be running on an emulator themselves. May be necessary to move to Virtual Box but I loose considerable functionality there especially USB support.
