Michael,

It almost looks as if you built with use64bitall.  Can you check your
configure.sh file and see?  That message will be emitted when the
dynaloader code thinks the *.so file is for a different architecture.

Very strange.  Also, I think you have an extremely back-level compiler,
though I'm not sure that is causing the problem.

Can you E-Mail me a copy of your configure.sh?

Steve
