Cannot run 32-bit apps on 64-bit Linux

Question

I have a very minimal install of Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit.

When I try to run some 32-bit programs, such as my jhead program, I get the message No such file

Answer 1

Doing ldd ./ might help to see which library dependancies are succesfully resolved.

Answer 2

You will need to install the 32bit library package

ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems

go and execute

sudo aptitude install ia32-libs
