Multiverse and Universe were enabled by default so I dont realise why it didnt work. It gives me this error:

root@localhost:~# apt-get install lib32gcc1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package lib32gcc1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source


E: Package 'lib32gcc1' has no installation candidate

Maybe this (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lib32gcc1) will help.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

May I ask in which context you need this library file?

It looks to me like this library file is to be used with 64-bit AMD processors. Can you confirm that this is the kind of processor you have in your computer?

Have you tried
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

Old no it dosn't work. My VDS is running Ubuntu 12.04 32bit, and I am accessing it through a command line on putty, and I need the library file to run hldsupdatetool.bin to get a Garry's Mod server on my VDS. I have asked my VDS provider what type of CPU my VDS has, Ill post what type as soon as they reply.

Sorry but this is the extent of my knowledge. It's confusing to me because it seems that this library file is for an AMD 64 processor. Hopefully someone else can chime in and provide a solution.

Thats what I also see. That package is 64 bit architecture and you can't install it on your 32 bit system.

Do you have a 64 bit processor?


lshw -C cpu

Whats the width, 64 or 32?

sorrensen

The width is 64

slot: CPU 1
size: 2GHz
capacity: 2GHz
width: 64 bits

Ok, if you want to run lib32gcc1 you have to install the 64bit system. There is no way to upgrade to 64bit, its got to be a fresh install. good luck :)

It seems bass-ackwards to install a 64-bit OS just so that you can then install a 32-bit compatibility layer in order to run a 32-bit application... I can't believe that's what the original instructions are recommending

Ok, dosn't matter if I need to get a fresh install couldn't do anything on the VDS anyway without lib32gcc1.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, the CPU is not important (as long as it is a 64-bit CPU, which all modern CPUs are), it's what version of Ubuntu you are using.

Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit now :)
