[Bug 1017603] Re: perl needs to be multiarch

 

I have the same problem, it didn't work on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit neither
Linuxmint Cinnamon 17 64-bit. I've searched and wrote the following in
the Terminal.

---
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get install libqt3support4-perl:i386
---

The result is
