CadSoft Eagle still requires 32-bit libs?

<p>I found <a href="http://musicthing.co.uk/modular/?p=123">an interesting open/free circuit</a> tonight that I wanted to price out on <a href="https://oshpark.com/">OSH Park</a>. The circuit designer was awesome enough to make the design files freely available on the interwebs...but unfortunately (out of the box) they fail the OSH Park upload checker. "Ok, that's fine, you get what you pay for" I think...I'll just open the files in <a href="http://www.cadsoftusa.com/">Eagle</a> and save into a newer version or investigate what's missing...</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I haven't installed</span> <a href="http://www.cadsoftusa.com/">Eagle PCB</a> <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">in a while (certainly not since I had to reinstall this laptop after the most recent HD failure). So I go to the download page, grab the installer and run it and.....of course, it fails.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But it fails due to missing 32-bit libs.</span></p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It's 2015! Seriously? I've suffered with Eagle for more than 15 years now, and in spite of all my persistent gripes about usability flaws and UI cruft, we still sometimes have to use it...but now there's now this problem? </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Seriously CadSoft, it's 2015...</span></p>
