OK. gnucash 1.8 does have problems with 64bit because 64bit platforms simply 
weren't around during early 1.8 releases. (1.8 is that old). 64-bit fixes are 
included in the 1.9.x series but these are for developers / testers only.

I think you'll have to wait until gnucash 2.0.0 is released - probably in May. 
It'll take a while to filter into each distro - Debian is likely to have it 
first.

If Mandriva decided to include gnucash in their 64bit distro, you should go 
back to them to see if they have a fix.
