Thanks in advance to your help. Regards! Hi,

Fedora users, for example, still have to manually install i386 packages to get it working. As far as Ubuntu being complicated, I don't see how it is. For most things, you only have to install one package: ia32-libs. @dag4th, while that may be true in some cases, it seems not be when it comes to proprietary apps like Skype.

RPM-based Redhat/Fedora/SuSE had no problem to switch to lib64 and lib because of their stricter rpm build process. And the package manager often installs both libraries: 64 bit and 32 bit without asking. DEB build rules are so loose that it is not trivial to switch to lib64/lib or lib/lib32 by setting a single macro to a new value (like the rpm based distros did). This is why 32 bit compat stuff is so complicated on ubuntu ... This is an ubuntu/debian only problem.
