Just started getting into Linux and I'm interested in running my development using Blitz from within that. However, I appear to have hit a bit of a stumbling block in that the 1.18 Blitzmax installation linux version is Intel and I have an AMD64 processor.

Now i'm a complete n00b to using linux in any level apart from some basic terminal command usage but I'm assuming I can't run this version of BlitzMax and update it unless I'm using an Intel processor, right?

Is there any way round this?
