This is what happens when a software manufacturer trying to dip their toe in 
the Linux waters, but doesn't know what they're doing.

They don't use the distro's pre-packaged binary packages for widely released 
things like PostgreSQL, and instead build them from source with an install 
script... 

There's a reason Linux distros went to binary packages with dependency systems 
wrapped around them oh...  in the mid 90's... :-)

http://web.archive.org/web/19961226191940/www.redhat.com/news/rhl4.0.html - 
RedHat 4 release notes saying that RPM 2.2.5 was included... in October of 1996.

http://web.archive.org/web/19970414140659/www.debian.org/about.html -- And 
Debian stating that their system could be upgraded in-place using their 
package manager, dpkg in March of 1997.

13-14 years ago... give or take, depending on which package manager you like... 

Since Icom picked a RedHat derivative distro, RPM packages should be the order 
of the day... and has been since 1996...

While my experience with 34 bit software on a 64 bit system suggests 
you're right in that it'll work as long as the correct 32 bit 
libraries are in place, I am also aware that G2 is very quirky 
software, so it's safer to stick with what's specified.  However, you 
might be doing some good testing by having it running on a suitably 
configured 64 bit OS.
