As usual it comes in 3 different versions: Classic, Pro and Platinum.
* 64bit installers just ensure a correct and automatic installation on a 64bit Ubuntu machine. BricsCAD continues to be a 32bit application. On a 64bit Ubuntu machine global menu doesn't work out of the box. However you can enable global menu by installing appmenu-gtk:i386
Did you actually try installing the 64-bit binaries on Ubuntu 12.04? It's been packaged dependent on ia32-libs...now deprecated since the multiarch versions of individual libraries from that metapackage have now been added to the repository. Installation fails. Attempting to install ia32-libs now requires disassembling your system since the rest of it now depends on the [library]:i386 multiarch versions.
ReplyDeleteAll the screenshots are from an Ubuntu 12.04 64bit machine.
DeleteI never had problems to install ia-32libs on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
ia32-libs as you correctly noticed is now a transitional package that depends on ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 which is a metapackage which installs all the i386 versions of packages that were removed from ia32-libs and transitioned to multi-arch.
If you experience problems with the installation, you can try the 32bit installer and after you can install manually any missing dependencies.
Never had any problems with ia32-libs in the past either...repos now updated and transitional has transitioned. INstalling ia32-libs will uninstall ubuntu-desktop. After waiting so long for the 64-bit installer, it was released just weeks before ubuntu moved remaining 32-bit libs to multiarch and now the installer goes nowhere since it's main dependency is missing.
DeleteI found a similar bugreport and it seems that many other users
Deletehave the same problem. I never had similar issues. My 12.04 LTS installation works well with ia32-libs.
As a possible workaround try the following:
-Enable all repositories.
-Enable all updates.
-Switch to the main server.
- Add the i386 architecture (sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386) Probably it's already added.
