I get to the "Running" step and run into "Couldn't load XPCOM."

Does this work on x86_64?  Or have I made a rookie mistake?

xulapp1$ ls
app  docs  installer  pyxpcom_gui_app
xulapp1$ cd pyxpcom_gui_app/
pyxpcom_gui_app$ ls
application.ini  components  extensions  pyxpcom_gui_app
chrome           defaults    pylib       xulrunner
pyxpcom_gui_app$ ./pyxpcom_gui_app
Couldn't load XPCOM.
