Hello,

I am trying to install DraftSight V1R5.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) but the installation fails saying that it can not load the module "atk-bridge" (see below for error log). 

I found the following web page (http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libatk&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all) that is associated with "atk-bridge" on Ubuntu. I looked at "libatk-bridge2.0-0" but that particular package does not seem to be part of Ubuntu 12.04 anymore? (I have added a question mark here because I am not very familiar with this part of the Ubuntu OS)

I tried to find information about the OS version requirements for DraftSight V1R5.2 but I could not find it in the release notes (Does an URL exist?)

So my questions are:

1) Does DraftSight V1R5.2 run on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit)?

2) If the answer to 1) is "no" then are there older versions of DraftSight available for down load which do run on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit)?

3) if the answer to 1) is "yes" then what measures are needed to make it work on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit)?

Any comment would be great!

Many thanks, - Rene

Here is the error log. I get past the stage where I need to agree with the license agreement. BTW The package "xdg-utils" is installed but the Ubuntu software centre can not find "xdg-utils.dpkg". For the installation I tried both the Ubuntu Software Centre as well as GDebi installer. I am aware that i386 is 32 bit but the various Ubuntu modules should be able to deal with the 32 - 64 issue (I thought).
