See section 3 of the README file ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v215/README
For 64-bit linux you'll need to download ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v215/PCIX/iraf.lnux.x86_64.gz and run the install script, but if you still have problems please post a specific question.

Hi Fitz!
I have the Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits. My question is:
If I install the 2.15 with 64 bits support, I am getting strange errors with the STSDAS package (example, igi "segmentation error').
If I try to install the 2.14 version forcing architecture, I get the following error: "/iraf/iraf/bin.linux/ecl.e: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"
So what I have to do? Uninstall my system to the 32 bits version?! I hope to not do that...

This is a separate issue from installation of IRAF, see my comment on the other thread.

This message just means that you don't have the 32-bit termcap libraries installed. You can get a statically linked ecl.e binary from ftp://iraf.net/ftp/pub/fitz/ecl.e that will work around this problem for now.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'forcing the architecture'....If you have both the 32- and 64-bit binaries installed you can 'force' which one to be used by setting the IRAFARCH variable but it sounds like you mean something else. Note the STSDAS/TABLES binaries already are the 32-bit version even if the IRAF system is 64-bit. Unless you've recompiled the package locally, the problem is in the IGI task itself. If you did compile however, it is know to now work since STSDAS hasn't been/won't be ported to 64-bit
So what I have to do? Uninstall my system to the 32 bits version?! I hope to not do that...
