Linux 32 bit compatibility how to?

[ziggy46802]

I'm getting this

root@steven-desktop:/home/steven/lampp# ./lampp
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.
root@steven-desktop:/home/steven/lampp#

when I try to run lampp, how do I get around this? I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit

4 steps, take a look at this reference website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit

how do I check which package of lib32 I need for it since I think it's just a package issue?

Try following this, if it STILL doesn't work, the only way would be running in VMWare or getting another distribution, I like Linux Mint.

Install the libraries using:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Open the folder where your 32bit lib files are using this code:

cd 'Folder Location'

Force the 32bit Deb into installing into the 64bit system:

sudo dpkg -i - -force-architecture package.deb
