Peter, FWIW, as noted earlier, I have a multiarch setup on Debian Wheezy and xfce where 6.6 is installed and working. It was indeed difficult to set it up in the first place, especially as my experience is limited and I was a multiarch noob. I worked out the dependencies from what is given in the docs and from running ldd on a separate working system, and then very painfully ferreted out which packages needed to be installed to satisfy them. (Both luck and judgement were involved). Of course Multiarch has first to be enabled, https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO then dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update (One can then: apt-get install package:architecture ) According to the admittedly somewhat muddled notes I made at the time, the following are the i386 packages that I actually installed. Of course YMMV, depending on what is already on your system and what is applicable to it. But installing these installed all the other requirements in my case (that I care about - I don't need the more esoteric "optional" capabilities for my purposes). libc6 libx11-6 libxext6 libxcb1 libxau6 libxdmcp6 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 After this livecode now runs acceptably. I say acceptably because theme support remains imperfect, but I assume that is because of livecode's emulated interface elements rather than the system itself.
