-1. "merlin.DistributionNotFound: Cheetah" error
-
-  This error occurs when trying to use the 32-bit linux binary on
-  64-bit linux systems. One of the Python packages PyLith uses doesn't
-  know how to determine the system architecture at runtime. The
-  workaround is:
-
-  (1) Go to the lib/python2.5/site-packages directory.
-  (2) Unzip merlin-1.3-py2.5.egg (if it is a file and not a directory).
-  (3) Go to the merlin directory.
-  (4) Edit __init__.py. Replace line 308
-        plat = get_platform()
-      with
-        plat = "linux-i686"
-  (5) If merlin-1.3-py2.5.egg is a file, rezip merlin. Go to the
-      site-packages directory and enter
-      "zip -r merlin-1.3-py2.5.egg merlin".
