Binary Thinking – Karol Sójko's blog

Lately I’ve discovered this great tool Tweetdeck to manage and twitt from your Tweeter account. It also supports Facebook so you can see this is very handy to have all in one application. It runs in Adobe AIR enviorment so it is cross-platform, but I’ve noticed that to install it on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) in the 64 bit version you have to do some extra steps. So here’s the tutorial:

1) Get the getlibs-all.deb package from here (If the link will break in future, try searching it on google there’s a lot of it out there)

2) Install the libraries

sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1

3) Download Adobe AIR

4) Give the downloaded file execution writes

sudo chmod +x ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

5) Install Adobe Air

sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

6) Copy libraries

sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32

7) Install Tweetdeck by going to their page and clicking download.

Have fun hope it helps and you’ll enjoy Tweetdeck
