Hard time installing ia32-lib on mac osx

Question

I'm trying to install the ia32-lib on my mac leopard osx 10.5.8 in order to be able to create some Android components like the SD card, the issue is that i get the following error:

E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs

so i thought it was an update issue and thus updated with:

sudo apt-get update

But still i get the same error,

another thing that i have noticed is that by running a cache scan like:

sudo apt-cache search ia32-libs

Nothing is returned, so the update actually did not fetch this library,

Have you ever experienced this? have some hints? Unfortunately by looking around the web i have only found hints for Debian and Ubuntu. Thank you,

OK:

1) You've got two threads open on the same question:

• Hard time installing ia32-lib on mac osx

• Android: Failed to create SD card

2) More to the point, I honestly think you're barking up the wrong tree.

I don't think you somehow need to get ia32-libs installed on Mac OSX. Heck, I don't even know if there is an ia32-libs for Mac OSX. Yes, It's necessary on some 64-bit Linux platforms. AFAIK, it is not necessary on 64-bit Mac OSX. Honest!
