I know that, somewhere in the past, there have been discussions about various 
bumps in the road to installing on Linux - I just can't find anything that 
relates to my situaltion.

I have been using Moneydance, very successfully, on a 32-bit installation of 
Linux.  Recently, for various reasons, I moved to Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 version.  
Now I am having difficulty installing Moneydance, please see the following

./moneydance_linux_x86.sh: 346: bin/unpack200: not found
Error unpacking jar files. Aborting.


Now I know, if this was a Debian package, I should be able to use the 
following to install:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture packagename_i386.deb

Anyone out there have success in installing on 64-bit Linux?
