As fare as I know, under 64bit Linux (Fedora Core 2) instalation you
can run FB 1.5 Super Server as a 32bit emulated aplication only.

We have succeed to compile FB 1.5.1 Classic server surce code to 64bit
and it is running as a native 64 bit compilation w/o any problems on
AMD 64bit CPU.

It seems FB 1.5.1 SS sources are not ready yet for AMD 64bit. We were
not able to compile it for 64bit.

Hellen, please correct me, if I am wrong .......
