Guys, it is actually much much simpler. Although the chroot solution gives you all the libs you could ever want, "apt-get install ia32-libs" will give you the most commonly used ones for use directly in a 64 bit environment.

The 64-bit question

Unfortunately ia32-libs is for an ia64 system not x86-64. Given that x86 binaries run under emulation on ia64 this approach probably won't work on x86-64 where the 32-bit binaries are run natively.
