After checking to which package does the libz.so.1 belongs (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/zlib1g/filelist) you should try to install zlib1g: sudo apt-get install zlib1g As pointed by @E-rich, it may be required to add a :i386 suffix to the package name for the package manager correctly identify it: sudo apt-get install zlib1g:i386 share improve this answer edited  Jul 13 at 13:52 answered  May 4 '14 at 8:37 threadp 1,119 7 11

12   This worked for me with one minor change: sudo apt-get install zlib1g:i386 –  E-rich  Nov 7 '14 at 18:48 sudo apt-get command not found in CentOS –  Palak  Dec 30 '14 at 12:59 1   @Palak yum install zlib.i686 –  syslogic  Jun 13 at 8:04  1   finally after so much search. sudo apt-get install zlib1g:i386 worked. –  Paresh Dudhat  Sep 21 at 19:22 add a comment

I've downloaded these packages: libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 zlib1g I then unpacked them and added the directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my ~/.bashrc. Just make sure to add proper dirs to the path.
