I've just installed 64-bit Kubuntu 6.06. First task is trying to get Opera to work. I've already edited sources.list and uncommented everywhere.
The Chroot method is more complex that I've been

The 32-bit environment in a 64-bit operating system
There are some apps that just don’t have the 64-bit version. Most of them are closed-source applications of commercial software providers like Adobe, Real Networks or Microsoft. The good news is that it is possible to run them in a 64-bit system through 32-bit emulation. In order to take advantage of it, the 32-bit environment needs to be prepared, which is as easy are entering:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32
in the command line. From now on, each time we need to execute any 32-bit binary, we invoke a command like this:
linux32 program_name
and this will run the command in our 32-bit environment. As simple as that. But suppose we have a 32-bit package that wasn’t prepared for the amd64 architecture. For such cases, a special option of the dpkg installation tool comes to the rescue: force-architecture. For example:
sudo dpkg --force-architecture \
opera_8.54-20060330.6-shared-qt_en_etch_i386.deb
will install Opera in version 8.54 (as long as it’s downloaded in the current folder, of course).

Which didn't work:
Code:
avi@God:~$ linux32 opera
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/usr/lib/opera/9.10-20061214.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
I couldn't find any mention of libjvm anywhere, and a google search brought me to EasyUbuntu. I installed it, and got it to install everything remotely relevant-looking (not neccesarily relevant to opera). But still no joy.
I googled the error message and found
this:
Quote:
About libjvm.so and libawt.so: those seem to be java SDK related.
So if (like me) you do not have SDK packages installed, you can ignore those errors or edit opera binary as following :
Code:
## Uncomment the next lines to workaround the "libjvm.so & libawt.so preloaded" error message
#LD_PRELOAD="libjvm.so:libawt.so:${OPERA_LD_PRELOAD}"
#export LD_PRELOAD
/me chose 2nd solution

But those lines were already edited out on my installer.sh script, and I can't find a combination of comments that make it work.
Any ideas? Have I missed something mind-bendingly obvious?
