32bit software on 64 bit #!?

I installed Waldorf 64bit but I'm having trouble installing Packet Tracer(32bit). Is there a work around for this or do I need to install Waldorf 32?

Not a huge problem, you can usually use 32 bits on 64bits with ia-32libs:

So, something like sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

Ok, no need. I remember we had this Cisco package problem: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … -bit-mode/

It's this, right?

Yup, thats it. But the PacketTracerx64Hack.sh link is broken. I'll have to look for it.
Thanks!

I'm not really seeing it. Guess I'll just install #! 32.

Try with the

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /tmp/selfextract.XXXXX/PacketTracer-5.3_3.i386.deb

command. Of course change the name of the location/deb accordingly.

Ok... when I install this is all I get. Shouldn't there be more? Cause I can't get it to run after the installation.

Hey Stratagem, could you post your final solution to this problem? I am trying to do the same thing.

Thanks!
