This gives no  action at all - I thought I sould check with "dpkg -l | grep
i386" and sure enough - lots of stuff. Apparently, that is already
installed?

This netted the following - it looks familiar - should I be specifically
removing those items called out inline here:

jack@jack-SVE1713CCXB:~/Downloads/DraftSight$ sudo apt-get install
libstdc++6:i386
Reading package lists... Done

*The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:

the start error now is

/opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight
/opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight: error while loading
shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory


so I guess there is some progress. I think I may be just about ready to
just put this in a VM window under W8. I hate that thought
