Earl:

Two things...first, can you get the DropBox src.rpm?  If so, you should be
able to use rpmbuild to rebuild it as a 64bit rpm.

Second, you can try to find the relevant RPMs for the libraries in
question at rpm.pbone.net...but try "devel" instead of "dev" if you're
going to do a package search.
