I have installed the 64 bit version of Antix which works great for most of my needs. However, there is one 32 bit program that I have to be able to run. I have installed it and made it executable. When I try to run it, I get the error message “no such file or directory” even though it is obviously there (and in the path). I am guessing that this must have something to do with lack of 32 bit libraries.
After research on the internet, I ran “sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386” followed by “apt-get update”. This made no difference.
I downloaded and tried to install ia32-libs_0.4_amd64.deb, but this failed a dependency test.What do I need to do now/what am I doing wrong?

… there is one 32 bit program that I have to be able to run.
… What do I need to do now/what am I doing wrong?I assume you are asking me what program? It is “turbomailer” (and NO, I am not a spammer. I am the Secretary of a club and use it to send out newsletters to the members.)
1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM!
* Watch at the paths. My home folder is named ‘antix’ — it might be different in your case!
2. Download:
http://www.xellsoft.com/download/turbomailer-linux.tgz
and
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openssl098/libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2.14.04.1_i386.deb(http://www.xellsoft.com/TurboMailer.html)
(https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/14.04/ubuntu-updates-universe-i386/libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2.14.04.1_i386.deb.html)3. Make a new folder ‘bin’ in your home directory and extract ‘turbomailer-linux.tgz’ in it.
4. Open Terminal and execute (one line at a time):
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-multilib libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386 sudo apt install ~/Downloads/libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2.14.04.1_i386.deb5. Start ‘Turbomailer’ from Terminal command:
~/bin/tmailer/tmailer
One could add the ‘Turbomailer’ to global path to make it start only with typing ‘tmailer’ in Terminal but, that’s not neccessary to get it work.
You can also hide ‘bin’ folder from your home directory by:
Create a new file named ‘.hidden’.
Open the file and add the text ‘bin’.
Save and close.The ‘bin’ is gone.
Turbomailer starts in Terminal, upon executing (command WITH path to binary):
~/bin/tmailer/tmailer
It runs here …
noClue,
Thank you! tmailer now runs like it should. The only thing that doesn’t work was your instruction for hiding the ‘bin’ folder. I created the ‘.hidden’ file and put the text ‘bin’ in it, but the bin folder is still visible. Since I could simply rename the ‘bin’ folder to ‘.bin’, this isn’t really a problem.
Glad it worked …
‘Hiding’ works too, just not in Rox.
In (almost) any other file manager it’ll work.
