lwl on x86_64?

Should I expect LWL to run on a 64-bit linux?

(It didn't in my case, so I downgraded to a 32-bit linux running on a 64-bit 
machine - just checking that this is the correct solution).

thanx

Well it seems that the X server from Xorg? is not very liked with
LispWorks. I got a zillion of bugs using it and LW is getting flaky (I
doubt it's Lispworks, seems really to be the xorg server. 

Just an example
Open a class browser and I'm not able ot get rid of them again: 
Here are just a few messages:
XT-LIBRARY:XT-APP-PROCESS-EVENT <- XT-LIBRARY::PROCESS-EVENTS
<- XT-INTERNALS:EVENT-MAIN-LOOP <- XT-LIBRARY::EVENT-LOOP-TOP-LEVEL

Well I see the window very well but it still stick on the Desktop,
That does not happen always....

Would that be libXm.so? LW needs motif!

Great! I think openmotif works a little better with LW than with
lesstif, though, but YMMV.
