Bug Description
I've installed the 64-bit version of ubuntu 7.04 on an AMD64 system. When I try to run any 32-bit binary executable, I get a "No such file or directory" error, although I can list the files and display any infos about them. When I compile a 64-bit binary executable from the same source code that produced the 32-bit binary executable, running of the resulting 64-bit executable works without any problems. This behaviour seems to be very strange to me, because the 64-bit system should be compatible to 32-bit executables. For comparison, the 64-bit version of SientificLinux (a RedHat Enterprise Linux clone) on the same computer works with both 64-bit and 32-bit executables.

Could you provide information which software packages you had problems with? Usually when you install a 32-bit application from repositories it pulls in the 32-bit compatibility libraries as well. For some reason some application most likely did not.
