Linuxgsm: lib32stdc++6 missing dependence @ Debian 9.4 i686

[Autorojo]

User Story

I am trying to install a CS:GO server on Debian 9.4 (arch i686). LinuxGSM can not run SteamCMD because there is a missing dependence: lib32stdc++6.

That dependence can not be installed in Debian 9.4 i686.

root@debian:~# dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt update; apt install lib32stdc++                                                                             6

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lib32stdc++6'

I also got errors with lib32gcc1 dependence, but I've fixed it... don't remember how.

This doesn't make sense lib32stdc++6 package is available in the repo https://packages.debian.org/stretch/lib32stdc++6

and I have it installed on my system

Debian -- Details of package lib32stdc++6 in stretch

GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (32 bit Version)

[Autorojo]

Yes, but it doesn't seem to be available for i686 architecture. Am I wrong?

[dgibbs64]

now it makes sense. Is there a reason you are not using 64-bit?

[Autorojo]

I am using a VPS and the company who provides me that service don't have Debian 64-bit available, unfortunately

[dgibbs64]

Almost no one uses 32-bit distros anymore as all CPU's for at least past 10 years support 64-bit, which is why I removed all reference to it on the website recently. Many distros don't even ship a 32-bit version anymore. I assume your VPS provider doesn't support ubuntu either? As there hasn't been a 32-bit version of ubuntu for several years.

If your VPS provider doesn't do something as basic as support 64-bit distros I would recommend looking for another provider.

To get the game server to work on 32-bit Debian you will need to install libstdc++6

Good luck 😃

I thought it was a LinuxGSM bug, sorry.

Anyway, LinuxGSM is working with libstdc++6 in check_deps.sh.

Thanks for your support!
