    12 replies, posted
[del] Hey, I'm trying to install some programs (mainly steam and skype) on my ubuntu system when I try, that error occures. I found out that it's because I have an amd procceser after trying this in terminal. [code] aritz@ubuntu:~$ sudo linux32 dpkg -i /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb [sudo] password for aritz: dpkg: error processing /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) Errors were encountered while processing: /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb [/code] [code] aritz@ubuntu:~$ sudo linux32 dpkg -i /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/steam_latest.deb dpkg: error processing /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/steam_latest.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) Errors were encountered while processing: /home/aritz/Desktop/Software/steam_latest.deb [/code] Any suggestions on what I should do here? [B]EDIT!![/B] In a post below, I've also stated that I am having trouble installing a compatibility library.

[QUOTE=LegoGuy;39592024]I found out that it's because I have an amd procceser after trying this in terminal.[/QUOTE] amd64 means that you're running 64 bit Linux, not that you necessarily have an AMD processor. AMD was the first x86 CPU manufacturer to implement a 64 bit instruction set for the x86 architecture, which is why operating systems refer to 64 bit mode as amd64. You can't run 32 bit packages on 64 bit Linux systems (which is what you're trying to do) without installing a compatibility library first, assuming one exists for your flavor of Linux.
If you have an AMD Processor get the AMD64 Ubuntu and if you have an Intel processor it will likely run both the i386 version and the AMD64

You're going to have to look around. I don't use Ubuntu regularly enough to know what the name of the compatibility library is. Google should return some results.
Alright.... I'm having another problem with installing the compatability library. [code] aritz@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [sudo] password for aritz: Reading package lists...
