      The answer to all your questions is yes. It's 65 bit and etc.              I had a library missing that bbbs relies on. Bbbs doesn't give a very good       error message so I found it by running file on the bbbs executable and seeing       the library it needed. I installed the library, which is not default       installed on Ubuntu server x64 an              I posted earlier and stated what I found.              On 02:44 24/11 , Enric Lleal wrote:       >Hi Chad,       >       >> Also, I tried every other executable.       >> You can see they are listed.       >       >My two cents...       >       >First, have you defined the variable $BBBSDIR with the path to your bbbs       >binaries?       >Second, I assume the answer as yes but, are you sure that if your box is a       >64bit linux, your bbbs bundle is 64bit too?
