Installation Error

[lehe]

HI,
I am installing the latest source code on Ubuntu 8.10 following the instructions on http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_nightly_build_on_Ubuntu. When I typed sudo dpkg *.deb, I got the following error. Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

You try to install 64-packages on a 32-bit system, that can not work.

Download either the zipped i386-packages (they either have i386 in the name or at least not amd64), or use more recently nightly build from a repo.

You may want to have a lookin the actual nightlies thread in http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html or use mine (see signature), it works also for Ubuntu 8.10.

Thank you, Jens.
How to check if my system is 32bit or 64bit? Is it one of the following

1. >$ uname -ar

2. >$ file /usr/bin/file

If your CPU is 64-bit, it does not mean, that you have a 64-bit system.

You have to install your whole system from a 64-bit repo.

Some programs and/or libraries (like wine) might still run in 32-bit, but they use 32-bit compatibility libraries.

By the way you should know , whether you have installed a 32 or 64-bit system.

Amd64 does not mean you have an AMD-cpu, it's just a name, not the vendor.

On my core-2-duo laptop:

uname -a
Linux debian-inspiron 2.6.26 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 11 09:55:42 CET 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That's means the kernel is 64-bit and the rest of the system should be also.
