Google ia32-libs. You may find some ideas.

Unfortunately the ia32-libs package is not available in Ubuntu 14.04 on arch

This is a bit of a problem for me with my desktop linux computer. I can still
use an older version of Ubuntu x86_64 on my laptop with kx3util but that version
of Ubuntu is unsupported now and will have to be updated to something more
modern very soon.
When will a 64-bit release be provided for kx3util? It really is needed now.
There's not much point releasing firmware upgrades for radios if you don't
update the tools to run with modern OS releases and 32-bit is so 20th century :P

Hi Lyn,
Nate is on the right track.
Here is a list of the required Linux libraries and facilities that must be
present and enabled for Elecraft Utilities to operate successfully on that
platform.
1) 32 bit vs 64 bit Distributions
The Elecraft Utilities for Linux are 32-bit and will not run on 64-bit
distros. There are 32-bit compatibility libraries are available that will
allow 32-bit apps to run. To install the 32-bit compatibility libraries from
a terminal:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
2) FTP must be installed on your Linux
You will have to install cURL if it is not pre-installed. Most distros have
it pre-installed, but not all. It is easy to install from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install curl
3) Ensure our DialOut groups are set up properly
Most users, other than root and members of the dialout group, do not have
read/write permissions on the serial port device files. The Utilities cannot
access the serial ports if the user does not have r/w permissions. An easy
way to set the permissions is to add the user to the dialout group:
sudo adduser << your username>> dialout
Cheers,
David
