Trusty 14.04 missing ia32-libs-multiarch:i386

[sparker256]

I do not see ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 in Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager.

Is this because extra is not online yet or some other reason?

Thanks Bill

It was removed in 13.10

I wonder then in my Ubuntu 13.10 install how I show it installed in Software Package Manager and Synaptic Package Manager.

With this being a LTS version and if ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 is no longer available then I cannot run X-Plane 10 32bit on a 64bit system.

I had thought that the reason for multiarch was so you could run 32bit apps on 64bit systems but with this info that does not seem to be true.

The multiarch packages are still available but ia32-libs is not. That package pulled many 32-bit libs on a otherwise 64-bit system and was a huge hack.

In Ubuntu 13.10 and onward you supposed to install 32-bit libraries for the programs that aren't part of repositories using :i386 packages. If X-Plane doesn't depend on ia32-libs then you can make it to work on 13.10. I already installed AdobeAIR on Saucy using the .bin installer and that doesn't need ia32-libs but the packages for AIR have that as dependency and are unusable.

You can find out what :i386 packages you need to install with ldd.

ldd '/home/mateusz/Pobrane/X-Plane 10 Demo Installer Linux'

The path looks that way because I simply drag and dropped the binary in Terminal (it's the easiest way). On my install all the dependencies are already satisfied and the installer starts without any problems.

Essentially the same thing applies to Teamviewer and Citrix receiver, solution can be found in this thread: Link

You should try this.. I am on 14.04 LTS version and it worked for me when I was trying to Ziplalign a ROM.
