Can't install under 64 bit Linux Mint

Amamba · Post by **Amamba** » Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:49 pm

I get error message: "cannot install libc6:i386".

The 64-bit version seems to be for AMD processors (mine is Intel) and also curses at me.

Any help appreciated !

Hi,

maybe:

64-bit distributions require 32-bit compatibility libraries (ia32-libs)

from the Corel Homepage.

Install the 32bit compatibility libraries.

Nope. 64bit is labeled AMD because AMD implemented that instruction set first...

I must be really slow today. I can't find them on Corel homepage.

The libs come with your distro. Not from Corel...

What is the terminal output?

Try after installing:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

The missing libs should be installed after that.

If Mint already uses multiarch, you have to activate multiarch in your sources.list
Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
After that, installing the 32-Bit version should work.
