The x86-64 FC5 AG3 yum repo comes with a 32bit rat. I just ran it now on 
x86-64 FC5 and don't get the same symptoms. All of the 32bit rat RPMs were 
built on 32bit Fedora and copied across.

The SRPMs for rat should be the same for FC3, 4 and 5. The FC6 version 
includes ALSA support. Find them under:
  http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/

If you rebuild the AccessGrid-rat SRPM on x86-64 RHEL, it will apply a 64bit 
patch and build a x86_64 RPM. I don't have a proper install of x86-64 FC3 as 
it was too old to run on the hardware I have, I just chroot to a x86-64 FC3 
partition that was copied across from elsewhere. Perhaps rebuilding rat on 
RHEL might fix it.

I think I may have included a 64bit rat with FC6, but that was 
unintentional.


Cheers,
Doug
