How do I install Draftsight CAD?
I've installed the 11.04 64bit version and now i can't install Draftsight (32bit with force architecture option) because there is an error with the library libexpat1.. anyone know how solve?

After you install all dependencies mentioned above (that is libdirectfb-extra
, libxcb-render-util0
, libaudio2
) you should install Draftsight using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture,depends ./DraftSight.deb
Obviously you should run this command while inside the folder where you have saved Draftsight.deb.

Download a pre-packaged .deb file for Ubuntu 9.10+ at the following link: download (66.8MB)
64bit Ubuntu users note: The DraftSight beta .deb provided is 32bit. To get DraftSight to run in Ubuntu 64bit will need to install the following missing library:
sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-extra libxcb-render-util0
After this, install the .deb via a Terminal using the ‘force architecture’ command. Assuming you downloaded it to your Downloads folder:
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i ~/Downloads/draftSight.deb
You probably did not install the missing library.
On 64bit Kubuntu 12.04 there is a libgtk-x11 error.

Solve with this:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
