My first suggestion would be to find some of the binaries that got
installed by this installer and run file and ldd on them. This will
confirm what file format and architecture they are and what dynamic
libraries are needed.
Based on that error, I would guess that one of the x86 binaries got
installed by mistake. I know I got it working at one point, but I
seem to recall that I had to put some effort into getting the ppc
patch to install. I'll try to look for the copy of the patch I got
at that point and see if it works for me.
