I do not know how to install 32 bit libraries error

So I'm trying to build the latest version of Wine and I receive this in the terminal:

We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine,
'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing:
(yes/no)

I say yes

then it's like:

Wine Installer v1.0

We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine,
'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing:
(yes/no) yes
Running configure...

configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.

Configure failed, aborting install

So I search and then I find this: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head ... 265468dc61

I do the easier way, it does its thing and at the very end it says:

ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
+ uname -m
+ test x86_64 = x86_64
+ echo I do not know how to install 32 bit libraries for distro Ubuntu
11.10 yet
I do not know how to install 32 bit libraries for distro Ubuntu
11.10 yet

So now I'm stuck. I can't build Wine because I need the libraries and I can't download the libraries because I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 x64....

Any solutions/suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

If you're on Ubuntu, why didn't you follow the instructions under "The Ubuntu Way"? They are right below "The easier way."

tried it that way, didn't work at first, then did an apt-get update and it worked! Thanks a lot!

Contact your Linux distributions support forums as the method differs
for each distribution.

Is your OS Ubuntu 11.1?
