32 bit app on 64 bit kubuntu

[Guest]

I am trying to install wavemaker (see wavemaker.com). The app is only distributed as an rpm, however I figured I could 'alien' the rpm and create a deb file that I could then dpkg. The problem I am encountering is that I am on Kubuntu 8.10 64 bit version, and the wavemaker app is apparently 32 bit and apparently the 'alien' that I have is 64 bit.

I am wondering if someone with a 32 bit version of Kubuntu could download the rpm from their site, convert it to a deb file and post it here?

Otherwise, I am open to suggestions as to how to get this thing to run on my 64 bit system.

Thanks!

wavemaker-4.0.2.24308-community.i386.rpm is what i down loaded and just so know a 96mb file you cant post here . when i used alien i got a deb file along with a wave maker directory . let me know where you want it uploaded ?

Make sure you have installed the ia32libs package.

Then you can try this, in the directory where you have the .deb -- no guarantees!

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i *.deb
