Hi, unfortunately I am unable to understand from this reply whether you ran the command I suggested, or not. 'apt' or its friends are the useful toolkit to help solve problems like this, not 'find'. The main point of a distribution like Debian is that it provides _packaged_ software. > I made sure that i386 is in the arch list in /etc/apt/sources.list.

You have to use for example 'apt install' to specify that you want a package installed. > Does it exist? In my previous message I already provided a link to a page showing that an i386 version of the missing library it exists in Debian. It won't be found on your machine until you install it though. > How do I force it to install? Regarding how to install it, use the instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
