Probs related to the LC 8 dictionary on 64 bit Linux

[Richmond]

I'm afraid that just doesn't work, as I have reported in Bugzilla, the 
dictionary just
doesn't function at all in Livecode 8.x 64 bit Xubuntu.

What I am looking to do is to install Livecode 8.x 32 bit on my 64 bit 
system, because that does
let me get at the dictionary.

So I installed the multiarch stuff, and I was still uynable to get the 
Livecode 8.0.1 32 bit Linux
installer to start up.
