linux32 ./setup.sh

Output is:

The setup program seems to have failed on x86/unknown

Is there a way to install 32bit program on ubuntu 13.10? When running the following command:

./setup.sh

The output is as below:

The setup program seems to have failed on amd64/unknown

Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup

@wilf Didn't help. I get ia32-libs has no candidate error. — Alireza, Jan 03 '14 at 15:06
@phpGeek What is the output of uname -a and what 32bit program are you trying to ./setup.sh ? — jmunsch, Jan 03 '14 at 15:16
Output: Linux myUserName 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux — Alireza, Jan 03 '14 at 15:29
You could also try sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch — Wilf, Jan 03 '14 at 17:59
I think the problem is as @Wilf has pointed out and that you do not have the 32bit architecture support needed to install a 32bit program on a 64bit system. Run the command he suggested, then try installing again and see what happens — Duck, Oct 24 '14 at 14:12
I installed what @Wilf said, and it everything works fine now. — Alireza, Oct 26 '14 at 08:07
