Topic: Ubuntu/Pianoteq

I decided to try Pianoteq on Ubuntu and I've found that it will launch from the amd64 directory, but not the i386 directory.

I read that the amd64 is the 32bit version and i386 is 64bit. Is this correct?

The pdf that came with the download only mentions windows and mac osx.

Nope, it's the other way round. If your Linux installation has no support for 32 bit binaries, then only the 64 bit version will execute, so it actually works as expected.

Perfect, thanks!
