Hi :)

I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I want to get the Eve Online client running on it - However I've installed the x64 version and for the client to run it needs the following 32 bit dependencies..

* ibc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
* xlibmesa3 | libgl1
* python (>= 2.4)
* python2.4-dbus
* python-gtk2 (>= 2.6)
* python-glade2, wget

(list from here)

I've had a hunt but being a bit new to Linux, I'm having problems here. Can anyone help me using simple terms as to where and how I can find/install these?

Thanks.
 
Code: 
dpkg -s python python2.4-dbus python-gtk2 python-glade2 wget libc6 | egrep "not installed|Package|Version"

Not sure what package xlibmesa3 is in though..

I think ibc6 is in libc6 package but not 100%.

As for installing the packages just sudo apt-get install package1 package2 etc... When you know what packages the libraries you require are in.

Hmm, the trouble is that if I do that, it tries to install the 64 bit versions which I've already got, and the client needs the 32 bit ones. Tricky.
 
in /etc/apt/sources.list is x64 specified anywhere for any of the repositories? if it is, you could try swapping those for the x84 repos and doing an apt-get update before trying to install the packages you need.

Worth a shot anyway, and as I don't run any 64bit stuff I cant test out this theory for sure :)

Tried this yet?
Code: 
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Aye..

Code: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ia32-libs is already the newest version.

And it's working - Nothing I tried is different from the previous attempt where I got loads of errors about the dependencies, but now it's running, yay!
