[Elecraft] K3 Memory Management Program

[David Cole]

Just for the record...  It would have been a show stopper for me if the
K3 software was only Windows...  Now that I have had a chance to play
with the rig a bit more, I still might have bought it, but I really do
thank Elecraft for supporting Debian and the other forms of Linux.

However the gtkhtml package among others does not yet conform to this standard.  The 32-bit libraries therefore cannot coexist on the same system as the 64-bit libraries.  On Fedora this problem is not there and you can install compat-gtkhtml314.i686 and the Elecraft utilities will display their help.

It may take a long time for debian to correct their libraries so I would suggest Elecraft take the time to compile their utilities for 64 bits as an alternate download.
