Thanks. I'm not sure why I thought I was getting a 64 bit version. It automatically gave me the one I thought I wanted.

I found these instructions somewhere:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
That fixed things, LiveCode installed from the downloads folder just fine. I did do the register stage, given there was no choice, and it seemed to take ok.

"given there was no choice" . . . Um.

I thought OSS was all about choice.


Glad to see you got that worked out. Using LC on Ubuntu is occasionally annoying, but in general a very good time (as with most things on Ubuntu, but then again I'm a fan boy <g>).

apt-get is a wonderful tool, and while having to use it for some of the more specialized packages out there (most are in the Ubuntu Software Center which is of course a GUI) was annoying for me at first, once you get the hang of it it's kinda fun.

For me, I began to enjoy apt-get so much that I started pondering whether we should make a similar tool to run from the LC Message Box for handling plugins.

If I'm not the only one for whom that sounds like fun, drop me a note and maybe we can put it together.
