I don't remember exactly the versions, but yes, I happened to do a
64-bits cleanup when I got my hand on a 64-bits machine.

You could follow the compatibility list on the lttng.org website and try
LTTV 0.8.79, which seems to be the earliest LTTV version matching common
LTTng versions with LTTV 0.8.72.

Good luck,
