OS X is all UNIX now, so that was included in the statement. I suppose I
overstated the case. Yes it's only a problem with files coming from somewhere
else, but that is what I frequently deal with as an IT administrator. Most
people will not see the issue.
Still, I think Apple should have

Is that not something that LiveCode ought to do, when making the standalone?
How in Linux would I do that?

Yes, that's your current problem. You'll have to install the ia32 libs.
Do an update first. Installing these libs was a pain for me in Maya,
Before you sent this I already found this online:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
so I'm giving that a go.

Maybe I'm not giving it a go after all, Linux locked up near the end of the

I guess I'll force quit it, and download the 32 bit version.
Thanks for the help.

This is another one of those principles I have applied to IT. If you don't
really, really need 64 bit apps and OS, avoid it until you cannot avoid it
anymore. By that time hopefully everyone in the computer world will pretty much
have their act together. Windows is only just getting there, and
