    Yes, you can install the 32-bit version of Bricscad on 64-bit Debian. There are two ways to accomplish it: (1) ia32-libs method, or (2) multiarch method.

    The first method is to install ia32-libs which is a collection of common 32-bit libraries. Typically you do something like:

    [code]apt-get install ia32-libs[/code]

    After that you can install the 32-bit Bricscad, but you have to use "--force-architecture". The command is something like:

    [code]dpkg --force-architecture -i Bricscad-V12.1.14-1-en_US.deb[/code]

    More information about this method is here: http://www.bricsys.com/common/knowledge/topic.jsp?id=305

    The second method is using Ubuntu's new multiarch capabilities. I prefer this method, but right now it is not simple to set up.

     I was able to install Bricscad on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with no dependency problems just now.  your Mileage May Vary.  I probably already had the ia32libs libraries installed, as I had to use these for Draftsight.  New version of Draftsight doesn't play nice with my graphics card, so I am investigating Bricscad.  

    So far so good.
