    Hey all

    Been awhile since i've touched linux, but having some issues.

    I need to get ia32-libs installed, but cant get it to work for me.

    Using this command:
    Get this output:
    Ive googled and nothing has helped so far. Did a "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade". Universal sources are enabled. No help!

    Thanks in advance. :)

    For all Ubuntu arch:

    Code: 
    apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
    These are in addition to the above, but for 64-bit systems:

    Code: 
    apt-get install lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib
    You have to use 64-bit to compile Gingerbread, so all the above packages are required. :)

    Ill try those above two commands, thanks HAL. :)

    EDIT: Both give some error message. :mad: Do i have to actually run 64bit Ubuntu?

    Yes, ia32-libs is only for 64 bit distros. :)

    They are the compatibility layer for running 32 bit apps on 64 bit linux.

    Whatever you're doing that needs ia32-libs should run fine on a 32-bit distro. Unless it's mixed 32 and 64 bit.

    It's not, so it must be both... I'll install 64bit and see what happens
