I'm having the same issue. I use Linux too the only module that I know of is dickwrap and that only supports win32.
I found the code to it on this website only problem is it has no includes or anything and I aint very skilled at C++ but it could be using windows only stuff so you would have to get it to work some how. I would like to have a no spread module that works on Linux and windows 64 bit because 32 bit is bad and annoying to switch too even if your using windows.
