I'm trying to install MPLAB on a Debian Squeeze 64-bit system with no luck. I have ia32-libs and binutils-multiarch installed. The result of trying to run the bin is as follows:

Permissions:
In all the searches I've done people say that installing ia32-libs and binutils-multiarch fixes the problem. Any other ideas?

it should be a binary file but it is not

from this source?

I get the same thing:

My understanding is that it is a java file with its own version of java embedded. The only thing needed externally is supposed to be the ia32 stuff. I just don't know what to try next.

I just wanted to follow up on this. I have it fixed, but I'm not quite sure of how. Although I'm running Squeeze, I don't use Debian's kernel. Instead I use 3.8.3 from kernel.org. I noticed when I booted from Debian's kernel, I could run 32-bit apps, including the MPLAB installer. Going back to 3.8.3, I couldn't. So, after giving up on finding the specific config bit that was causing the problem, I copied Debian's config over, ran "make olddefconfig" and installed the new 3.8.3. After referring back to a thread from last year, I disabled pulse (for mythtv) and now it looks like everything is finally fixed.
