Thanks for all the help. Once I got the installer working, it whirred a 
bit, and there was the actual program. Which gave some message about 
libstdc++. I installed libstdc++:i386 (did I? can't seem to find that 
name...); now it moans differently:

/home/brian/bin/memsource/TranslationEditor: error while loading shared 
libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

But I cannot find out which library I need to add. In the list above 
there is zlib1g:i386, but this does not appear in Synaptic (I don't 
really understand where it is looking... on Ubuntu's repository, if 
that's the right term?) So again I'm stuck.

Someone suggested using ldd to see the library linking names etc, but I 
get this:

ldd ~/bin/memsource/run.sh&
[3] 4977
[2]   Done                    ~/bin/memsource/run.sh
brian@Grieg ~ $ 	not a dynamic executable

I don't understand what much if anything of this means... help!


I enjoyed the nomikai today, got to talk to a few faces, and practice my 
knowledge of Bulgarian (which is limited to ягода, which means 
strawberry), and even got home since the lifeboat came to meet me at Koga.
