help installing program on ubuntu 9.04 64bit

I am using a program on Windows called "BNet.Builder" and on their website they also have a .bin file for installing it on Linux systems. In the user's guide they listed instructions on how to install it, so i followed them. In the step that says to run a command in terminal, it says to run the following: /sh BNet.Builder.Lin.01.40.bin

i run that, and what is supposed to come up is a GUI for installing the program. Instead, this is what i get from terminal:

/tmp/install.dir.15907/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any suggestions? Is this error coming up because i'm running 64-bit ubuntu?

PS: if you want to see the user's guide here is the link for it:

You could be missing the ia32-libs package... that would be easy to fix:

Code:

sudo aptitude install ia32-libs

 

i tried that and it said that "ia32-libs is already the newest version." and "ia32-libs set to manually install"

i also went into /lib to see if libc.so.6 was present, and it is in that folder.

 

Hi, this thing could be that you work on 64 bit, dont you also should have /lib64 folder right? Perhaps the file is missing there?
Try to make link from /lib64 to /lib?
Or you have 32 bit version of library, but miss the 64 bit version?
You can also try to install jre from sun for 64 bit linux ...
I'm not familiar with *buntu, i use rpm based distro ... in my case i'd try something like:
yum whatprovides filename
to find out which package contain the file and then install package ....
These things happens when using 64 bit with 32 bit apps sometimes, solution shouldn't be too hard.
eg:
I tried to find library on my ntb like:
[root@orionis ~]# yum whatprovides libm.so.6

[root@orionis ~]# yum list all | grep glibc.i686
glibc.i686 2.5-24.el5_2.2 installed
glibc.i686 2.5-34 base

so in my case it is installed and provided in listed packages ...

But as i've said, this could be not only about the file existing, but also the path where the installer look for it - so perhaps you have the file, but installer look for it someplace else - like /lib64?
