When I try to install a 32 bit program on ubuntu 13.10 64bit it falis. My command is as follow: 

linux32 ./setup.sh

Output is: 

The setup program seems to have failed on x86/unknown

Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup

Is there a way to install 32bit program on ubuntu 13.10? When running the following command: 

./setup.sh

The output is as below: 

The setup program seems to have failed on amd64/unknown

Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup

  • @wilf Didn't help. I get `ia32-libs has no candidate` error. – Alireza Jan 03 '14 at 15:06

    @phpGeek What is the output of `uname -a` and what 32bit program are you trying to `./setup.sh` ? – jmunsch Jan 03 '14 at 15:16

    You could also try `sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch` – Wilf Jan 03 '14 at 17:59
  • I think the problem is as @Wilf has pointed out and that you do not have the 32bit architecture support needed to install a 32bit program on a 64bit system. Run the command he suggested, then try installing again and see what happens – Duck Oct 24 '14 at 14:12
  • I installed what @Wilf said, and it everything works fine now. – Alireza Oct 26 '14 at 08:07
