Ubuntu 8.0.4 x64 -lX11 incompatibility issues

I tried installing all of the required libraries (I don't know that much about linux). heres my output when i try to compile:

does anyone know how to go about taking care of that?

oh my system specs in my signature are old. i'm running off of a core 2 duo inspiron 1520 laptop w/4 gb ram and an 8600m gt.

Where exactly did you get the required list of libs?

Did it include xlibs-dev ?

Maybe there is an ia32 version for x64 cross compiling.

The compiler is looking for the 32bit X libs

And I will give you a word of warning do not atempt to compile any modules. As you will be using the 64bit version of gcc/g++-3.3. There is no multi-lib (32/64bit libs side by side) version of gcc-3.3. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=76407

There could be two ways round this...
1) Use a VMware version of Ubuntu 32bit and then copy the files needed.
2) Set up a chroot environment (I haven't tried this yet been to busy) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575

hm sorry its been about a week but i got really busy with school. i tried creating a lot of symlinks and stuff and now i get an even 'happier' error listing:

it seems each time i symlink one of the things, a different library gives me an error.

Remove all the system links that you have created and try this as every thing works http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=77778

You will have to have a gig or so of hard drive space. As you will be creating a small install of Ubuntu 32

EDIT: You wont need a that much space only a few hundred meg
