How to install lib1394 i386 (32bit) version on ubuntu 11.10 amd64

I have an old acquisition program for a firewire that seems to need the 32bits version of the library libraw1394.so .

Some notes, about the problem:

I think that the output of uname -m indicates that I have an ubuntu 64bits installed:

$ uname -m
x86_64

If I execute ldd on my application, the output indicates that lib1394.so was not found:

When I run the application I get the following error:

The library is locted in /usr/lib/ but it is and ELF63 version:

I have been searching a solution in various posts. So, I think that I have the source code of the applications so that I should be able to compile it. So I have to solutions, but I do not know how to execute them:

solution 1) Install the i386 (32bits) version of the library
solution 2) Compile the application again

I have been reading posts and it seems that I should use either GetLibs either ia32-libs either multiarch. Please, any feedback to the problem will be helpful! Thanks a lot!
