Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
I recently set up a dual boot configuration between WinVista and Ubuntu10.04.
When I try to install Scratch on the Ubuntu partion, I get the following error:
Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'
PLEASE HELP ME!

Stop ignoring me!
We're not trying to ignore you, at least, I'm not. It's just that not a lot of us have Linux - I did at one point, but not anymore. As far as I know, we just don't know the answer to your problem.

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
What processor are you using - AMD? Sorry, it will work only on a X86: Pentium / Intel chip.

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
I think its something to do with the kind of processor you've got and maybe whether your computer as the 64bit version of ubuntu on it do you know?
I AM ROOKWOOD101 NOW! (just so you know)

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
Try Ubuntu forums - we're kinda low on Linux experience. Believe me, a real wizard's probably got the answer.

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
The error message you provide is the one that should be shown when you attempt to install Scratch on a system that has a version of Ubuntu that is not i386 (the 32 bit version of the operating system). If you have installed a 64 bit version of Ubuntu, you may be able to install the Scratch package with this command in the terminal: (replace X with the version of the package you are installing).
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ./scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntuX_i386.deb
If you want to be sure which version you have installed, type:
uname -m
If the system responds with something like i686, you have the 32 bit version installed. If it says: x86_64, then you have the 64 bit version installed.

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu 10.04
Ah - someone from the community has reported that the commands to force installation on 64 bit systems on our linux install page was incorrect. It has now been fixed. Try this:
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i ./scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntuX_i386.deb
(order of params changed)

It says x86_64.
Thats strange, I have a 32-bit PC.

Bump.
Could I use WINE to install and use Scratch 1.4?

I think people (including me) are ignoring you because they don't use Ubuntu.

WINE and Scratch 1.4 don't cooperate very nicely, at least not for me. I tend to have fonts bitmapped beyond usability.
Oh.
