I have a stats package 32-bit binary (P-Stat) which is no longer produced (this is the last version ever). I run this successfully by adding
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 lib32ncurses6
I did this after installing Linux Mint 22, and have also done so successfully on older 64-bit systems. The
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
interpreter is present on the system, corresponding to the details from running the file
command on the p-stat
binary.
I have now been sent an even older version of the P-Stat binary to test on some very old data formats, and file
says it needs /lib/ld-linux.so.1
which I don't have [yet]. Two questions:
1. can I have both ld-linux.so.1and ld-linux.so.2 present on the same system?
2. what do I need to install to get ld-linux.so.1?
