Your Linux distribution should contain a package for that, called something like libc6-i386 or libc6:i386 or glibc.i686 or similar. I thought that this would be installed by default on almost any x86_64 Linux machine. OK, thanks. I shall forward this directly to my system administrator. Unfortunately I have so little knowledge of the "nuts and bolts" of linking, compiling, static, dynamic etc, that while I grasp the general meaning of what you said, I have no actual idea of how to "install a 32 bit version of the standard C library", nor where to look for it. :-) However the system is a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution so I am surprised it doesn't come with the bits it needs. When I compiled from scratch instead (configure; make;), no complaints were raised, but perhaps it made only the 64-bit version ??
