They are very terse, but here are my current notes are:

download getlibs
getlibs PageStream5Pro
getlibs -l libqtengine.so
getlibs -l libqt-mt.so.3
getlibs -l highcontrast.so
getlibs -l libfile.so
getlibs -p libgnomevfs2-0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32 /usr/l32
sudo sed -i -e 's/usr/lib/usr/l32/g'
/usr/lib32/libgnomevfs-2.so. 
0.2200.0
download libfam0_2.7.0-13_i386.deb
dpkg -x libfam0_2.7.0-13_i386.deb deleteme
cp -a deleteme/usr/lib/libfam* /usr/lib32/ && rm -fr
deleteme
getlibs -p python2.4
getlibs -p python2.4-dev # not sure this one is needed
getlibs -p python2.4-minimal
sudo mv /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4-64
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4

Note that the libgnomevfs is actually being edited as it has
hardcoded  
paths to /usr/lib/ so it will otherwise be trying to load
from the  
wrong location. I was never able to figure out how to get
python to  
work other than putting it in the /usr/lib/ directory. Doing
this is  
*wrong* but it works for me as I don't need the 64-bit
version of  
python-2.4 and hopefully Deron will get a true 64-bit
version out  
before there's an issue.

So far the only side effect I've had was each document was
marked as  
changed the first time I loaded it (that is, open the
document and PgS  
puts an asterisk in the title bar to indicate it has been
altered even  
though it hasn't). This only happened the first time I
loaded a  
document and may be because everything is on a network
share.

Other than that it has been working very well for me.

I've given up on it.
