I always get that "Wrong Architecture" message when I'm trying to open the .deb file with Ubuntu Software Center.  Running Ubuntu 10.10, btw.

It's likely that you have a 64 bit installation of Ubuntu, which balks at installing a 32 bit package. Try using the instructions to force architecture, under the 64 bit heading here:

Most users report that the 32 bit package works fine on their 64 bit systems.

Does anyone know of someone getting Scratch to work on 64-bit Linux (in particular, Ubuntu) without installing a chroot? 

I've gotten Squeak working natively (is that the right word for "not using a chroot?") in 64-bit (on a sidenote, it's a shame that Synaptic can't install the squeak-vm on Ubuntu Gutsy), but trying to open Scratch yields the error, "This interpreter (vers. 68000) cannot read image file (vers. 1712914432)."

I believe this is because the Scratch image is 32-bit and my Squeak installation 64 bit (see http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2007-October/001600.html ).  Is the Scratch source available to play around with trying to build a 64-bit VM from scratch (oh man    )?  I tried cloning the 32-bit image with SystemTracer64, to no avail.

Any pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks!


Gratefully,

Sorry, but I don't have any idea about 640bit Linux at all ))

scratch has always run fine for me in wine
