[SOLVED] 32-bit environment on a 64-bit install?

[hufferd]

I have one game I play that has a linux client BUT it needs to run on a 32-bit system??? is there a compatibility environment I can install

Modern 64 bit processors are backwards compatible. I think you'll be able to run it just fine.

There are two ways of doing this:

- Recompile the program so that it runs natively in 64 bits. This is the best solution but sometimes it can be difficult, especially for a newbie.

- Install the 32 bit support libraries:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
install all dependencies and then force install the program
sudo dpkg -i --force-all packagename

Good luck!
