I don't believe RunRev produces a Yellow Dog build anymore, but if 
you're getting enough of a response from the server to identify the 
missing libs they're probably running x86.

For background on the libraries needed to support the engine on Linux:

One of the reasons I've stayed with Tierra.net for so long is that they 
maintain a server farm pre-configured specifically for running the Rev 
engine, with all the libraries set up as needed.  They cost a little 
more than discount hosting services, but for the convenience and stellar 
service I've always found them to be a good value.

If anyone chooses to sign up with TierraNet, be sure to ask to be hosted 
on server farm 2 for MetaCard support (I've been using them since before 
the engine was acquired).
