I have been using ubuntu12.04 64-bit before, the following information will appear when running the php integrated environment xampp, saying that 32-bit applications are not supported
[sudo] password for zzs:
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.
The solution is to install the 32-bit program support library (I solved it by the following method when ubuntu12.04),
but recently upgraded the system to ubuntu14.04, this time the following information appears
zzs@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[sudo] password for zzs:

No package ia32-libs available right now, but it is used by other packages quoted.
This may mean that the missing package may be deprecated
or only found in other distribution sources
but the following packages have replaced it:
lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32asound2
E: Package ia32-libs has no installable candidates
The error has clearly stated that it may be replaced by the following software. Then we (try to) install lib32z1

Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.
将会安装下列额外的软件包：
