    How to install ia32-libs?

    I'm having trouble with my Kali Linux 1.0 amd64. With Kali repository, i got unmet dependencies when installing ia32-libs.

    Here's some error:

    Code:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-i386 but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    With my source.list:

    Code:

    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib

    Any suggest?

    you have held broken packages

    dpkg --configure -a

    which will try to install any package not properly installed in a gentle way
    If this does not work try

    apt-get install -f

    debian wiki is a great place for usr of kali

    You have a 64bit system (kali-64bit), and cannot install 32bit libraries, you can install 32-bit applications, but not libraries since the have dependencies to other 64bit libraries.

    The system won't let you do that. One thing is 32 bit applications which indeed can be installed in a 64bit system, but other thing are 32-bit libraries with in a 64bit system.

    If you read, libraries have dependencies on ncurses, gcc v4l, etc..It is parte of the 64-bit system. System simply will not allow you to.

    It is like trying to install in MS win some .dll in 64bit and another in 32bit, and both part of the windows system itself????? in a 64bit system????...

    Luck.

    I am not absolutely 100% sure what all the capabilities are, but the new debian "wheezy" is supposed to be multi-architecture... you might wanna check that out. If you know what you are doing you can root it and turn it in to kali

    Hello
    hausoo, Thanks, i managed to install ia32-libs by reading your instructions! in google there were many solutions regarding debian or ubuntu, but these just fixxed this problem while running kali.
    so the fix is this:
    dpkg --add-architecture i386
    apt-get update
    (i tried installing ia32-libs but it asked me to use -f so)
    apt-get -f install
    dpkg --configure -a
    apt-get install ia32-libs

    so if you type these command in this order it gets fixxed and you can install ia32-libs.
    again, thanks! i wanted this for installing voxin, a voice speech for Orca.

    Hi there fellows,

    Any ideas? I'm running into the same issue. Already tried adding the i386 architecture in dpkg and upgating using apt-get but it doesn't work. Also tried installing ia32-libs-i386 but it gives me a shitload of dependencies that aren't going to be installed.

    ~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
