I don't think this is anything to do with AMD64-ness. I've a plain 8.04 and have just installed freeguide 0.10.6-1ubuntu1. Selecting Applications -> Sound & Video -> Freeguide gives similar output to the above in ~/.xsession-errors. Running `freeguide' at the command line does the same, see attachment. I assume it's a packaging error; there's a missing dependency.
