I will go through that tomorrow, but in the meantime I got a strange result. Despite the fact that this is a 32 bit Kubuntu install, I got these results from the tests at the beginning of the page: jaunty2@laptop:~$ ls -d /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64 jaunty2@laptop:~$ ls -d /usr/lib32 ls: cannot access /usr/lib32: No such file or directory jaunty2@laptop:~$ According to what is written, with those results I should use the Fedora multilib instructions.
