You need to set up the sonames properly

You need to set up the wrappers with LD_LIBRARY_PATH

That's FreeNX done . . .

You need to set up the sonames and 
        "# Where can different nx components be found"
in nxloadconfig ifits changed.

No cups !!  ignore

No xdm kde or cde, ignore

  let me guess, you only want gnome

        update /etc/nxserver/node.cond with /sbin/mount.cifs etc

                if you have samba and want mounts

still no cups  ignore

         sudo atp-get install expect
but
        don't you have it as standard?? is it elsewhere ??

        try    which expect

        mising binary or wrappers not set up correctly see above . . .

You don't compile FreeNX - its a series of scripts with
an already compiles binary for named pipes.

You just unzip it into the correct location.

32 bit and 64 bit are the same unless you use /usr/lib64/NX

You need 

   nxagent 
    nxauth
    nxcomp
 nxcompext
nxcompshad
   nxproxy
    nx-X11

so you are missing a few.

There's no advantage to using 64 bit over 32 bit.
