If you are tearing your hair out trying to figure out why trying to run something is complaining that it doesn’t exist when it clearly does, this is quite possibly your solution.

The problem is most likely that you are trying to run a 32bit package on a 64bit system.

The solution is easy enough, you need to set up your system to run 32bit packages.


apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 ia32-libs
