frostwire does not support 32 bit systems in linux. they are 64 bit only. the antix beta is 32 bit only at this time.

**edit** corrected frostbite to frostwire

can't tell you, but this line is telling that its an architecture problem:
ELFCLASS64 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)
and according to the frostwire website its only supported on 64 bit linux architecture. I'm wondering, did you install it on mint from this same tar.gz file or do that have it in their own repos?

even the ubuntu deb they provide is 64bit amd64.

You're saying"frostbite" and OP is saying"frostwire." Just a brain fart or two different applications?
