Hello,
         I installed OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5.oga.3 on my opteron
server.  When I run it, I saw the following error:

               Welcome to the OpenGrADS Bundle Distribution
               --------------------------------------------

For additional information enter "grads --help".

Starting "/opt/opengrads/Linux/Versions/2.0.a5.oga.3/x86_64/grads
" ...

/opt/opengrads/Linux/Versions/2.0.a5.oga.3/x86_64/grads: error while
loading shared libraries: libimf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Does anyone see similar error?  Thanks!
