ImportError: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

I have already looked at all of the suggested related questions, but none of them quite seem to have the answer to my problem.

I am trying to run an in-house legacy program on my 64-bit computer. The program I am trying to run is acmegui-64bit.so (there is also a acmegui.so), so it suggests that it was designed to be run on 64 bit machines. When I run it, I get

[tharpa@hpz44 bin]$ ./acmegui-64bit
:/dept/python32/lib:/usr/local/viz/notification/lib:/usr/lib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/dept/adapt/acme/py/acmegui.py", line 8, in <module>
    import ACME, AcmeGui
  File "/dept/adapt/acme/py/AcmeGui.py", line 10, in <module>
    import AppShell, ACME, AcmeDialog, nwrSetup, nwwsSetup, nwrMaker, cwwsMaker, \
  File "/dept/adapt/acme/py/nwrMaker.py", line 18, in <module>

    import ACME, Decoder, Config, Format, IdsDB, Product, Setup
  File "/dept/adapt/acme/py/Decoder.py", line 12, in <module>
    import ACME, Pils, Metar, SCD, SCP, WMOHeader
  File "/dept/adapt/acme/py/Metar.py", line 6, in <module>
    import ACME, acmedcd
ImportError: /dept/adapt/acme/py/Linux/acmedcdmodule.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[tharpa@hpz44 bin]$ ./acmegui-64bit

I have considered the possibility of converting acmedcdmodule.so to 64-bit. Is this possible? If not, how hard would it be to recreate it?

No.

If not, how hard would it be to recreate it?

You would have to find sources for it and rebuild it. If the original program is available as open-source, this may not be too difficult. If it's closed-source, you'd have to contact original developer(s).

Before you go too far on this, you should check whether you already have a 64-bit version of acmedcdmodule.so (perhaps named acmedcdmodule-64bit.so). If you do, fixing this may be as easy as creating a few symlinks.
