   levin@rhea:~ $ lipo -info `which mdb-tables`
   Non-fat file: /opt/local/bin/mdb-tables is architecture: x86_64

I was unable to figure out how to convince MacPorts to build
32bit-binaries without recompiling everything. :(

But I tried building mdbtools from source on the latest 32 bit Ubuntu
10.4 beta (i686) It shows the same problems as the 64 bit Ubuntu.

It's broken on both.


What I'll try next is to selectively apply the debian patches to the
sources and see which patch, if any, makes it work.

Is the source on the mdbtools-sourceforge page really the current
repository? It seems hard to believe that the last commit was 4 years
ago.
