[CS-FSLUG] Installing ia32-libs-gtk

[Tim Young]

It looks like the library is there, but it may not be...
Try
   
david at lappy:~$ ls -ld /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
To see if it is a link.  If it is a link, make sure the file it is 
pointing to is there.
david at lappy:~$ file /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

If the file is there, make sure it is in the linked library list.  Run 
ldconfig to update that list
david at lappy:~$ sudo ldconfig -v

Then try to load your plugin again.

Ps.  I am not familiar with kubuntu, but I do know the basics about 
shared libraries.
