Because, despite the name, multi-arch doesn't really do the job of
supporting multiple architectures. I was spending a lot of time in the
Ubuntu forums when that replaced ia32libs and I found a lot of people
encountering issues with many packages, like Google Earth. That
LiveCode fails to run under multiarch as one of Google's best apps does
I think we're in good company.
Indeed, multiarch has been the source of so much frustration I've had a
hard time figuring out why they bothered to write it at all when
ia32libs was working well.
The best fix I've found for this is from Neil @ LiveCode, in the forums:
<http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20091&p=104639&hilit=64+bit+ubuntu+neil#p104639>
Run this line he suggests there and let me know if it doesn't work:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
If not, try running LC from Terminal with ldd and we'll see what else is
needed, but for me that GTK lib took care of it.
