I attempted to download Second Life for Ubuntu 14.04.3, 64-Bit, and I got no results. I tried following some other answers, but either the window just won't show up, or the Terminal wasn't following according to the answer. Can someone help me with this?
For those who want to know what instructions I tried, follow this link. I followed them and the game wouldn't show up. How to install second life?
For your 64 bit system, I'd first try the Kokua viewer from kokuaviewer Downloads. That should install and run on your system without problems (assuming you have the sound already working). The voice chat feature works, but its implementation does not have Linden Labs' blessing, so may go away in the future. In that case, you will have to switch to the approved mechanism and run the secondlife Windows voice program under wine (like you would have to do for the official viewer).
If you really want to get the necessary 32 bit libraries, here is a list from the second life bin file:

Note that some libraries are missing in my setup, but they don't affect what I do. Also, the (Linux) voice library setup is pretty useless since the libvivoxoal never got set up completely (like the Kokua setup did), so the Linux voice program can never run. The approved voice setup is to install Windows SL under wine, and run that SLVoice under wine. That does work successfully with the 32bit SL Linux SL viewer.
