You need the  32bit versions of those libraries. If you have a 64bit 
system it will only install the 64bit libraries. You need to install 
"gcc-multilib" and possibly some other libraries as well. I had some 
problems with that because not all the necessary libraries were 
available. There are instructions available here:

Have a look at this as well:

Note, when you compile for a non-native platform pass the -m32 or the 
-m64 flag to the compiler.
