I don't use ubuntu, so those instructions don't apply to me. I've tried 
to make sure I've got all the required 32 bit libs, can't be sure 
though, my guess is there's still some missing. I've installed the 32 
bit libs for gcc, that seems to miss out whatever's included in ubuntu's 
gcc-multilib package.
