Wow, nice! 507870 is not the problem with Elluminate on 64-bit though.
The issue with Elluminate had been that the supplied .so's were 32-bit only. 
I contacted Elluminate support to ask them about 64-bit status a couple 
of months ago and I was told it was 32-bit only at that time. 

Good to know that it supports 64 now as well!
