No ia32-libs installed? The 32-bit openssl/berkeley db library files are 
included...maybe you are missing the header files?
dpkg -l libssl-dev
dpkg -l libdb-dev

sqlite3 - you need to grab the 32-bit libsqlite3-dev package and extract 
the library files and put them in /usr/lib32.

1) apt-get install libsqlite3-dev (installs 64-bit libraries and c headers)
2) Download the 32-bit package version and use dpkg -x to extract the 
files from the package. Copy the library files to the /usr/lib32. (Do 
not try to install the 32-bit package.)

tkinter - same situation as sqlite3
1) apt-get install tk-dev
2) Download the 32-bit package of tk8.x version for your release and 
extract the files and copy the library files into /usr/lib32.
