error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm running ubuntu edgy 64

all suggestions tell me to make sure i have libgtk2.0-0 installed. It is installed, and I can see the needed file: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
... any suggestions?

copy it into SL's own 'lib'-folder:
CODE

cp /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /path/to/SL/lib/

That doesn't seem a likely solution, Josh is on a 64-bit linux - installing the 32-bit version of GTK is needed (details fuzzy).

thanks for the suggestion Boroondas, gave it a try and got the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

after some searching i found a good help in ubuntuforums.org... but now i'm stuck on the libuuid.so.1 package.

for systems setup with ubuntu edgy 64-bit... do this:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

the libuuid.so.1 package is not listed as having a separate 32bit lib file so you must download it's .deb file for ubuntu's 32-bit version... open the .deb file... extract the data.tar.gz... and move the contents of it's ./lib/ directory to the /lib32/ directory.

hope this helps someone out :D
