Install 32-libs on VPS

[Ni3ls]

Hi all, I got a vps. Now i need to install ia32-libs. I updated the sources list. Then I do apt-get update. Next thing is apt-get install ia32-libs

Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate

Who can help me? VPS is Debian 7, 32 bit

The ia32-libs is deprecated so you should consider migrating to multiarch, to do this

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

And then

apt-get install package:i386

This should do the trick.

Still dont work for me :/ I work in the root. Must i make sudo user?

Have you tried this after doing --add-architecture?

apt-get install ia32-libs

Since you are already running 32 bit version, you don't need a package for 32 bit support.

I think you are missing the old gcc libraries, which cod2_lnxded was linked against. Download: http://killtube.org/downloads/cod2/gcc3-libs.zip

Just extract them next to your cod2_lnxded, or put them in /lib-directory and run ldconfig, to put them in ld cache.

But first try to install them the normal way and don't mess with /lib etc.:

apt-get install libstdc++5

But must i still do install ia32-libs after doing that?

No, just install libstdc++5 and try to run cod2_lnxded:

apt-get install libstdc++5

./cod2_lnxded +set fs_game blablub

It works now! Thanks to Badboy! Indeed libstd missing

Sorry for misleading, I thought you were using a 64 bit distro.

No problem. All the help is always appreciated!
