Can't Install libc6-i686 to Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS

please help me!!!

Try installing the 64 bit version.

I'll try libc6-i386_2.9-7_amd64.deb but still problem.

can i have the direct link to download the libc6-i386_2.9-7_amd64.deb?

Try using one of the package managers to find, download, install and update stuff for you. Go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

it asks for your user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Use either search tool to find the package you are looking for and right-click to install it. Packages that are already installed on your system are marked with a green splodge so you could choose to reinstall some of them (or uninstall) them if they are causing a problem. Usually when you try to install something it will be a very tiny package compared to an equivalent Windows version and this is because packages share libraries rather than having duplicate versions of the same libraries loaded separately for each package. Sometimes this means that a library or another package needed in order to run whatever program you are trying to install may not already be on your system, we call packages that are depended on "dependencies". Using a package manager means that all the dependencies of a selected package are marked for install, something that's very difficult to do for yourself without extensive in-depth knowledge - as you are finding out. It does have the advantage that linux manages to be much more efficient in use of resources such as Ram, hard-drive space cpu cycles and so on. Note that while in Synaptic there's a button "Mark all Updates" and this updates the libraries, codecs and everything that you have on your system - it's not just about 'security' updates, almost always it's about increasing functionality. Finally click the "Apply" button.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I actually meant that you should make sure you have the amd64 version of
the software you're trying to install, not libc.

Any update on this issue?
How can we solved it?
