Jonathan:  Thanks, I think you may suspect correct:

balloon at capirossi:~/bin$ file balloon-audio-off
balloon-audio-off: setuid setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel
80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.30, dynamically linked
(uses shared libs), not stripped
balloon at capirossi:~/bin$ ldd balloon-audio-off
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: No such file or directory
ldd: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 exited with unknown exit code (127)
balloon at capirossi:~/bin$ uname -a
Linux capirossi 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 #2 Fri Jun 2 17:23:35 UTC 2006
x86_64 GNU/Linux
balloon at capirossi:~/bin$


Many many thanks.
I'll have a look about for docs on this chroot AIUI you speak of.
And contact the author in case there is something he can do with the
compilation.

Grateful, Jenny
