Thanks for all the suggestions.

I had a go with the above site using the powerful command:

#dpkg --force-depends --force-architecture --force-overwrite -i

to install the suggested libs:

ia32-libs_1.19_amd64.deb
lib32asound2_1.0.14a-1_amd64.deb
lib32gcc1_4.2-20070609-1_amd64.deb
lib32ncurses5_5.6-3_amd64.deb
lib32stdc++6_4.2-20070609-1_amd64.deb
lib32z1_1.2.3-15_amd64.deb
libc6-i386_2.5-9_amd64.deb
lsb-release_3.1-23.1_all.deb

but this seriously wipes out most applications. I think in fact that site and
those libs are out of date and the site should be taken down or updated, use
it to your peril.

Hey,

Though not stated in that site, I think the idea is to get the up-to date versions of the libs rather than the ones shown, maybe it should say: You should now have a directory that looks something like this.

Anyway, I think the huge **WARNING** notes should have been enough to let you know the whole thing was not without risk ;)

Regards,

Angus
