problems with installing NCL on Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 architecture

Hello

I am having some problems installing pre-compiled binaries of NCL (both
Open-DAP enabled and not enabled) on Ubuntu 11.10.

Here is my system information:
smc@nakrasana:/usr/local$ uname -m
x86_64
smc@nakrasana:/usr/local$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) 4.6.1

Following installation of either of these binaries:
ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.Linux_Debian_x86_64_gcc445.tar
ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.Linux_Debian_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar

and running ncl from here:
smc@nakrasana:/data/static_data/tarballs/ncl$ which ncl
/usr/local/bin/ncl

having added this line to my ~/.bashrc:
export NCARG_ROOT="/usr/local"

I get this error returned:
smc@nakrasana:/usr/local$ ncl
ncl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS32

The library is installed on my OS:
smc@nakrasana:~$ locate libssl.so.0.9.8
/home/smc/.dropbox-dist/libssl.so.0.9.8
/lib32/libssl.so.0.9.8
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
/usr/lib32/libssl.so.0.9.8

and explicitly adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH parameter to the library in my
~/.bashrc does not fix the problem:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib32"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The gcc version I am running corresponds to the nearest version in the
binaries.

  Any suggestions as to how to solve this? I did have had NCL running
fine on earlier versions of Ubuntu (10.10).
