I had used the default settings of base-config, which isn't enough it seems. To add to the How-to? Thanks very much. Phil

Check your /etc/apt/sources.list file *in the chroot* and make sure it can get to the 32-bit archive. Make sure that 'apt-get update' works in the chroot. It looks to me like apt has no package lists at all. If you have 'dchroot' configured you can run the commands like this: dchroot editor /etc/apt/sources.list dchroot apt-get update dchroot apt-get install openoffice.org Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: ia32-libs vs. ia32 chroot
IA32 Chroot: + Can install other libraries very easily + Can add library directories to /etc/ld.so.conf so it runs like the ia32-libs - Slightly more effort to setup - Takes up quite a bit more space ia32-libs: + Install and run (for limited library dependencies) - Not a complete 32bit system (Ie running 32bit firefox isn't anywhere near as easy) + Less space In my opinion that about sums up the important points to consider, I've probably missed a couple or explained some badly though Alan Thanks, Alan. I'm going with the chroot approach then. Following the AMD64 HOWTO in section "Running applications inside the chroot", I followed the instructions and then I wanted to try to run a 32-bit program. First I wanted to try to run some X-based program so I tried openoffice, which was not yet installed. When I tried to install it in the chroot, I got the following errors below. So I wondered whether I needed X installed in the chroot, but this did not work either (see below). Then I wondered if it was not X but some other configuration problem so I tried to install wine. Again some sort of dependency problem. Can someone indicate what might be wrong? I'm using kernel 2.6.8-9-amd-k8-smp on a dual Opteron system. Any help would be appreciated.
