Although these are commercial programs the issue of getting some 32-bit- only applications to run on 64-bit is wider than these examples. The integrated installers are generally the problem - not the applications themselves.
The solution (on Gutsy at least) is: $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs $ wget http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/ia32-libs-gtk/ia32-libs-gtk_16_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg --force-all -i ia32-libs-gtk_16_amd64.deb $ sudo apt-get -f install Now you should be able to install 32-bit applications: $ sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin $ sudo ln -s /opt/google-earth/googleearth /usr/bin/googleearth $ googleearth -- Google Earth and Enemy Territory installers fail on amd64. Other programs may be affected. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
