I've never gotten it to work under wine. But for 64-bit: obviously a 64-bit build would be preferable and I'm looking forward to it, but in the meantime are you having trouble running PgS. As David mentioned there are two ways to do so: 1. 32-bit chroot. This is the one I originally favored as it kept things nice, clean and distinct. Unfortunately it also becomes a PITA if you want to use network drives (which I do). I've given up on it. 2. ia32 compatibility libs. This is the "seamless" way to run 32-bit apps in a 64-bit linux. Unfortunately it is more than a little difficult to setup. Installing the ia32 libs is easy, but that isn't enough. There's a script called get-libs (IIRC) that can be used to automatically determine what libs are missing and install them for you. In the case of PgS this still isn't enough. I do have PgS running, though, and would be happy to share my steps if you are interested.

Hi Tim, I had tried to run Pagestream using get-libs to determine and to download the missing libs. I experienced that Pagestream still didn't run. Wine was not a solution and in my opinion a 32-bit chroot is not that smooth elegant and light-weight solution. So, in the meantime I have changed my 64-bit kubuntu-hardy-desktop for a 32-bit one. Nevertheless, I am very interested to learn how Pagestream can run in a 64-bit environment using ia32 and get-libs.
