How can I install 32bit apps in 64bit 10.10 offline?

I was just googling for the answer after I realized Keryx wouldn't run in the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 system. I found that I needed 32bit libraries to get it working. But where can I get them? Is there a workaround to needing those 32bit libraries until I can get my 'buntu install online? (I need to install gnome-ppp to get online)

Edit: HOLD EVERYTHING!
When I made this post I assumed (and you know what that does to you and me ) that I couldn't connect to the internet using network manager using a verizon wireless modem because I couldn't in 10.04. Well, I assumed wrong. I just clicked "new mobile CDMA", then verizon, next, next, next and wallah! instant connection! *Does the extremely happy dance*

Still, what are the names of those 32bit libraries?

 

Up to now I didn't know Kerix at all, and frankly I don't see what it should be good for.
But basically I see three approaches for your problem:
1. Compile Kerix on your own. According to their Home page it's open source, so you should find the source code somewhere.
2. Since Kerix is an offline package manager, I assume you have your packages on some USB key or similar. Just use dpkg to install them.
3. Set up an offline package repository. The easiest way would be a CD or DVD that you can include in your sources.list. Then you can use apt(itude) or Synaptic if you like.

Edit:
Which libraries are you talking about? The ones to make Kerix work? If so, what are its dependencies?

 

The 32 bit libraries are the ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk packages.

To force install a 32 bit package on 64 bit, use --force-architecture:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb

You can always download packages from Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search and then put them on some kind of media or shared partition, to get onto your Linux system.

 

sorry for not being clear. I needed 32bit libraries to install 32bit apps on my 64it machine. At first I thought I couldn't get online in ubuntu without "gnome-ppp" which is an app for modems and such. I couldn't install it because "it was the wrong architecture". So I would use Keryx to download the needed packages in Windows. I couldn't run Keryx in Ubuntu, again, because of "the wrong architecture". Now, after discovering I don't need gnome-ppp and am connected to the internet I need to locate the 32bit libraries for any 32bit apps I may need to install.

Thanks allurgroceries. I installed ia32-libs via synaptic but ia32-libs-gtk isn't there.

 

Yeah sorry ia32-libs-gtk looks like a virtual package on Ubuntu and it's included in ia32-libs, it's a little different on Debian.

 

here's a bit of a guide you can scroll through:

Should be fine with ia32-libs, needing to grab more libraries than that is not very common, but it can happen, depending on the 32 bit app you want to run.
