I'm using ubuntu i686.
Need to install i386 .rpm packages.
tried this code:
alien -i [file.i386.rpm]
Tried to install ia32-libs...
apt-get install ia32-libs
...and tried alien again but didn't work.
any suggestion? thx.
[suggestion #1: run alien with sudo -c -v ...]
your suggestion didn't work. Same error reported:
file.i386.rpm is for architecture i386 ; the package cannot be built on this system.
The line above the error is the command chmod:
chmod 755 ["name of directory"/debian/rules]
any other suggestion? thx.
