PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION

[Brian Clarkson]

I have had problems like this and it turned out to need the 32bit libraries
installed (along with the 64 bit libraries that are probably already on your
system).

Unfortunately I don't remember how to get the 32bit libraries but this is
from Ubuntu forums:

"How to make 32-bit work on a 64-bit machine

At this time, those with a 64-bit processor have the option of installing
the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Not all software is available in the 64-bit
environment. In particular non-free items are usually 32 bit. For example
the Flash plugin is a 32-bit program.

Some programs can be run in the 64-bit version of Ubuntu by using the 32-bit
libraries.
You can install ia32-libs by using your favorite package manager. Another
option is to create a 32 bit environment with
chroot<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot>
"



This might also work:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i your_32bit_package.deb


Others more knowledgeable than me on this list may be able to give a more
accurate guide.
