Thanks for the suggestion.  I did try to build from the tarball, and make & 
make install work fine, but I still don't have any lib64 directories.  I get 
the impression that the config script doesn't build for 64bit platforms.  Do 
I need to pass any particular arguments to the ./configure script and/or the 
make/make install commands in order to ensure this being built for 64bits?

Thanks,

Eric
