how to install ia32 compatibility library on salix64 for LAMPP 1.7.3a ?

LAMPP -> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

When starting the LAMPP on Salix64 I got message:

"XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system."

On other distros I solve this by installing IA32 compatibility library, but here I could not find it in Salix64 repositories.

Maybe there are additional repos for it ? Please help.

AlienBob provides some 32 bit libs for Slackware64: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

But why do you want to use LAMPP instead of just installing the available apache, mysql, php packages from the repository?

Well, I have several linux distributions (both 32 and 64 bit) and use one LAMPP
custom installation among them, depending on witch one is currently running.

I honestly do not know how to install those packages from your link, any help ?

Just google for "slackware multilib". But I still don't get why you won't use the 64bit packages available in the repositories.
