I'm assuming you mean amd64 here? We haven't really had any reports
from people using it on 64-bit platforms. There were reports of 64-bit
specific crashes, but those were fixed in SVN and Debian a long time
ago, and I'd assumed in Ubuntu too, I guess they haven't synced them
yet?

As stated on the download page, amd64 issues were fixed in SVN 154-156
and 178. Additionally, they were fixed in Debian's packages: etl
0.04.08-2 synfig 0.61.05-3 synfigstudio 0.61.05-3. Those are quite old
packages. If Ubuntu hasn't yet synced them, they should get onto it.
Who is the maintainer of the synfig Ubuntu packages? I'd suggest you
contact them to get the packages synced with Debian.

On Windows, please use the new version based on recent SVN created by
Atrus. It is linked from the download page under the unoffical
packages section:

I'd really really suggest you use the SVN versions of
etl/synfig/synfigstudio. They should be so much more stable than the
current release. Please read the FAQ and download page before you do
so:

Build instructions are here:

There is quite a bit of documentation on the wiki, especially a few
good tutorials.
