You are trying to install a 64bit installer into an 32bit OS.

I thought so too but I wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming it. Just wondering why the developer didn't make one for Linux 32-bit.

Are you forced to run an (outdated) 32bit Linux? If not, why did you choose 32bit? SImply install a 64bit Linux and you are done.
