Hi Don,

Even in the 64-bit $ORACLE_HOME there are plenty of the executables which are 32-bit. Also the loadjava, ncomp are not the executables but rather the "wrapper scripts", which actually point to the wrapper script for jre which in turn point to... Luckily there is some "jre" executable in the end. And it is usually 32-bit.

There is a nice unix command - file - which will tell you what kind of file is it ("magic numbers" and alike). On my test system the file command tells that the "jre" is:
"ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV)" and many other funny words :-).

Also it is always useful to check installation guide and look for environment settings, like LD_LIBRARY_PATH and others. Do not forget to check how this variables are changed in the wrapper scripts.
