Got the solution to it on ubuntuforums, thought of posting it here as well if someone finds it useful. "getlibs" did it for me. It automatically downloaded and installed the required i386 package. (On second thoughts I could have done the same by downloading that package manually and opening it up and hand copying the required .so to /usr/lib32 as default install directly would have overwritten the 64 bit version in /usr/lib, but getlibs does it automatically saving a bit of time plus it can do this for all the needed libraries for a particular executable, probably by discovering using ldd) Linky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 ---------------------- I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, U can't prove anything - Bart Simpson http://blog.shantanugoel.com http://tech.shantanugoel.com _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
