Yes indeed, Armworm your suggestion of booting from a 32 bit Trisquel live cd
worked and I have now successfully installed Replicant. Thank you very much
for all the help you have given me to reach this point.
leny2010, thank you very much for your suggestion as well. Now that I've
installed Replicant on my phone I don't have any more pressing need to
install the 32bit libraries on my desktop. However, I appreciate the
suggestion and if I ever need these libraries for something else I will refer
back to your post.
Thanks to everyone else who posted in this thread; I greatly appreciate it.
