#2 Re: Skype on AMD64 Unstable Posted by figjam (222.154.xx.xx) on Fri 22 Dec 2006 at 23:12 Cool! I didn't know about that and it also led me to the 32 bit versions of libasound2, libgcc1, zlib1g and libstdc++6. Using ia32-libs will save a lot of searching, downloading and copying, but you will also need to install lib32asound2, lib32gcc1 , lib32stdc++6 and lib32z1. The libraries for libaudio2 and libqt3-mt are also missing and since I couldn't find lib32 packages for them I guess we're stuck with downloading and manually installing them. Currently the only application I run requiring these libraries is Skype, so I still prefer to manually install the libraries from ia32-libs, as it contains about 15MB of files. I don't need most of them and I'm paranoid from way back. In checking out ia32-libs I also learned that /usr/lib32 is a symlink to /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib, which is the base directory ia32-libs installs its files to. This means that if you're paranoid like me, and feeling brave, you can work from the root directory and skip the copying steps. If you don't mind the extra libraries you should only have to run: apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 You will also have to download and install the i386 versions of libaudio2 and libqt3-mt as per my original entry. If you want to manually install just the libraries you need then the following should work: apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 Download ia32-libs from http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/ia32-libs to your home directory. cd ~ ar -x ia32-libs_1.18_amd64.deb cd / tar zxf ~/data.tar.gz ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.1.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.10 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libICE.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libICE.so.6.3.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.1.2.8 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libSM.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libSM.so.6.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXau.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXau.so.6.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3.1.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXft.so.2 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXi.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXi.so.6.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2.0.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXrender.so.1.3.0 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXt.so.6 \ ./emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libXt.so.6.0.0 Repeat the process from my original entry for libaudio2 and libqt3-mt.
