Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy)

I posted in the other thread...

Try:-

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

That installs the 32 bit compatibility libraries. I needed that to run Opera, Folding@home and some other programs cos Java and Flash aren't 64 bit compatible from what I've been reading..(or it's easier to use a 32bit browser and 32 bit plugins).

There are specific ones for Java etc but I think those are downloaded as dependencies for the ia32-libs.

bingo - bango -bongo you "think" right!! Thank you *very* much. Two instances of d2ol are off and running now. Now for a timing run to see how the ubuntu fiesty does compared to opensuse on output over a 24 hour period. I do have to say though that other than learning the intracacies of a new distro, I'm quite impressed with the Ubuntu Server performance wise. I'm not a fan though of using "sudo" as I was raised in the unix/linux world that it presented too large a window for possible security issues. Whether or not that's the case now I have no idea.

@Drezha -- Well I spoke a wee bit too soon...

Now I've progressed to the libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 issue as the d2ol app is just whizzing through the analyzing steps but not really doing any work.


So what do they call the compat-libstdc++-2... in ubuntu? or do you have to do a soft link? If so, what do you use???

You can probably just symlink to the one you need.

ln -s <source> <target>
