[Elecraft] KXUSB with Linux

[Darren Long]

It fails for me with the response:

Failed to find/load Framework library
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've not figured out how to get a 32 bit version of that package installed.  It
would be nice if David could provide instructions for using the 32-bit kx3util
with Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 if it is actually expected to work.
