The complete solution for installing and running Komodo4 with the 64-bit Ubuntu build is this:

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

Works fine after that.

NOTE: Installing just libc6-i386 lets the install script perform the installation. But running the program generates this error message:

error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

Installing the other two packages (ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk) fixes that part.

[from bug 67932]

Trying to make Komodo work with Ubuntu and related distributions on the x86_64 architecture was somewhat difficult prior to Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10. It required some custom configuration of Pango to be done and a shell script to be created and used each time to run Komodo. Thankfully, these days are behind us now.

Komodo will work on Kubuntu 6.10 by installing the ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk packages. I would expect this to be the same for any Ubuntu 6.10 derivative.

To install the packages you can do the following on the command line:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs

Update: Komodo seems to work fine on UBuntu 8.04 ( 'Hardy Heron' ) systems as well. A user suggested installing these packages specifically:

sudo apt-get install binfmt-support ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk libc6-i386

The binfmt support package is a kernel level module that does cool tricks with interpreter selection, sort of a 'super-shebang'. For more info:
