Unlike Fedora, SuSE, and Windows, Ubuntu does not set up a system that
can use 32-bit libraries when you install 64-bit Ubuntu.  You first
need to get the 32-bit libraries installed on your system before you
try to install ooRexx.  I think that is your problem.

Quick answer: To run 32-bit programs on 64-bit installations of
Ubuntu, install the package ia32-libs

Try a Goolgle search of: "Can not run 32 bit applications on ubuntu"
for more information.


Changing the package name from ooRexx-4.1.0-ubuntu1004.i386.deb to
ooRexx-4.1.0-ubuntu1004.x86_32.deb is not going to give you anything.
Both packages would be identical, it is just a name difference.  They
would both be built as 32-bit.
