Debian & IDA 6.3 Demo

During another blog-post i am currently working on, i wanted to try IDA 6.3 demo version. I was working on Debian Squeeze 64bit OS, so without doing any research i downloaded the file and tried to run idag from console.

I then ran into two errors regarding libraries that it could not find, as it was looking for ia32 libraries.

./idaq: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

./idaq: error while loading shared libraries: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To resolve these errors i had to install "ia32-libs" and "ia32-libs-gtk" through debian repository.
