[chris@thinkpad Downloads]$ cd libpng-1.4.12
[chris@thinkpad libpng-1.4.12]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu "CFLAGS=-m32" "CXXFLAGS=-m32" "LDFLAGS=-m32"

[chris@thinkpad jpeg-8d]$ make
[chris@thinkpad jpeg-8d]$ sudo make install

And finally Eagle

[chris@thinkpad Downloads]$ wget ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/6.5/eagle-lin-6.5.0.run
[chris@thinkpad Downloads]$ sh eagle-lin-6.5.0.run
