what did you use to run Machinery? Did you install one of our packages,
the gem or do you use our git repository? And what architecture and OS
does your host/machinery system have.

Our package is shipped with helpers for different architectures, for the
gem they should be build during installation time as a native extension
and for Git they will be compiled on the first run.


If you have an old Go version on a 32 bit distribution though and run
Machinery from the sources or have installed the gem, then you would end
up with only an i686 executable.

In this case you could upate your Go version (at least 1.5) or copy the
`machinery-helper-i686` binary in the machinery-helper directory to
`machinery-helper-x86_64` which should work as long as 32 bit binaries
are still executable on your x86_64 inspection system.

Tim
