Mathematica Player Pro libXmu problem

[dragos2]

Hi guys,

I have an Ubuntu server 8.04 64 bit with gnome applied for remote desktop work.

I installed Mathematica Player Pro with no errors and when I try to launch it
it fails with this

/usr/local/Wolfram/MathematicaPlayerPro/7.0/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux/MathematicaPlayer: error while loading shared libraries: libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

aptitude search libxmu

p   libxmu-headers                  - X11 miscellaneous utility library headers

p   libxmuu1-dbg                    - X11 miscellaneous micro-utility library (d

I installed both libxmu-dev and headers and no success.

Any ideas ?

Bump.

Any suggestions please ?

It looks like that MathematicaPlayerPro is a pure 32bit
application (according to WRI-support).

Just doing:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

fixes the issue.
