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
Well, well, well: look what I've been missing:
The following extra packages will be installed:
libatk1.0-0:i386 libcairo2:i386 libdatrie1:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386
libgraphite2-3:i386 libharfbuzz0b:i386 libpango-1.0-0:i386
libpangocairo-1.0-0:i386 libpangoft2-1.0-0:i386 libpixman-1-0:i386
libthai0:i386 libxcb-render0:i386 libxcb-shm0:i386
That did the 'trick'.
Thank you very much indeed.
Richmond.
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.
