I think you need to configure APT, so that it uses different servers for different architectures: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchHowto

Yes, the following worked: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amd64.list # Create this file

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt-get install binutils:amd64 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64To know what libraries are needed, first try to run the failing executable and look at the error message. I think I wish there was a way to find out what these repository URLs should be. You have to know to remove both instances of Thank you very much! |

objdump does seem to see dynamic linking, especially in the "Dynamic Section". I first ran it on the statically linked binary for comparison. |

Since these were run on an Intel box, it goes "in the other direction". But maybe that was already obvious. |

An interesting side project for someone, would be to allow running Linux programs on the Mac (using lima) I think this Noah project could be adopted to do it with Lima: https://github.com/georghe-crihan/imgact_linux Note: it involves kernel modules, so it is not for the faint of heart... It would allow you to "execute" a program, without the |

A less scary way to do it, would be to do a shell wrapper and have that execute With creative use of symlinks, you could use the same script for multiple programs by looking at the arguments |

I just use something like: 🐟 cat ~/.local/bin/meldlima # Outside lima
#!/bin/sh

# Don't forget to enable X11Forwarding in lima.yaml
#
# This will STOP WORKING after the computer wakes up from SLEEP.
# Workaround: run `limactl stop debian` after sleep.
limactl start debian && \
limactl shell debian -- meld "$@"This has some issues (#2099, and annoying meld-specific issues like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/484), but they wouldn't be helped by hiding Lima's involvement further. P.S. Thanks for the pointer for |
