cannot start xampp -- 32 bit compatability error

just installed xampp for the first time.  i used the latest version (1.8.1-1) from the AUR.

trying to start it by running:

sudo xampp start

gives the following error:

XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.

i am running a 64 bit system, but i have installed gcc-libs-multilib-4.8.0-4, lib32-gcc-libs-4.8.0-4, and gcc-multilib-4.8.0-4

the relevant section from /opt/bin/lampp (which /usr/bin/xampp is a symlink to):

# XAMPP is currently 32 bit only
case `uname -m` in
        *_64)
        if /opt/lampp/bin/php -v > /dev/null 2>&1
        then
                :
        else
                $de && echo "XAMPP gibt es zur Zeit nur als 32-Bit Applikation. Bitte verwende eine 32-Bit Kompatibilitaetsbibliothek fuer Dein System."
                $de || echo "XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system."
                exit
        fi
        ;;
esac

trying to run

sudo /opt/lampp/bin/php

returns

bash: /opt/lampp/bin/php: Permission denied

the relevant permissions are:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 19  2012 /opt/lampp/bin/php -> php-5.4.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9.8M Sep 30  2012 /opt/lampp/bin/php-5.4.7

any ideas?
