Hi Thiago,

Thanks for pointing that out.
I don't have access to this computer right now, i'm running Fedora 22
here, and this machine has libSM.so (64 bits only machine, and i don't
want to mess up that one)
[developer at chris-g-vm1 ~]$ ldconfig -p | grep libSM
    libSM.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libSM.so.6
    libSM.so.6 (libc6) => /lib/libSM.so.6
    libSM.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libSM.so

But according to packages.ubuntu.com [1], I need to install
libsm-dev:i386 to get libSM.so, libSM.so.6 is provided by the package
libsm:i386 [2]

I have installed (I think) all the libfoo:i386, but when i try to
install some libfoo-dev:i386, it forces me to specify dependencies as
well and ends up removing the x86_64 versions of these packages...
>From memory, here is the scenario:
$ apt-get install libfoo-dev:i386
cannot install libfoo-dev:i386, needs libbar-dev:i386 and
libbar-dev:i386 is not to be installed
$ apt-get install libfoo-dev:i386 libbar-dev:i386
About to remove: <long list of packages depending on libfoo and libbar>
About to install: libfoo-dev:i386, libbar-dev:i386

At which stage, i just cancel the command because the list of packages
to be removed is really long and scary.

I need to spend more time on this, so far it's all about Linux distro
issues, nothing wrong with Qt itself.

Chris
