libncurses.so.6 Not Found - How to Get 32 bit Version?

[Drew Tomlinson]

First, I must say I love the ports system!!!  It keeps me from suffering 
as I am now.  :)

Anyway, I'm attempting to install a web log analysis software from 
Google named "Urchin".  The installation docs say it's supported on FBSD 
6.2+.  As I am dedicating a machine to this software, I've performed a 
brand new install of 7.1-PRERELEASE.  I'm using the amd64 version on a 
Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

With help from the list, I overcame the first library issue by 
installing the compat6x libraries from ports.  Now the install script is 
complaining that "/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncurses.so.6" 
not found".  I used ldd on the executable the script is attempting to 
run and get this output:

        libncurses.so.6 => not found (0x0)
        libcrypt.so.3 => /usr/local/lib32/compat/libcrypt.so.3 (0x280be000)
        libz.so.3 => /usr/local/lib32/compat/libz.so.3 (0x280d7000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/local/lib32/compat/libstdc++.so.5 
(0x280e8000)
        libm.so.4 => /usr/local/lib32/compat/libm.so.4 (0x281be000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/local/lib32/compat/libc.so.6 (0x281d4000)

I did search my system and found /usr/local/lib/compat/libncurses.so.6.  
I tried adding a symlink to /usr/local/lib32/compat but then received an 
"...unsupported layout..." error when attempting to run the executable:  
I assume that is because the libncurses.so.6 library is a 64 bit 
version?  I've removed the symlink.

Assuming my assumptions are correct, how can I get a 32 bit 
libncurses.so.6 version on my system?  Or if I'm wrong, what do I need?

Thanks,

Drew
