I'm recently installing Mathematica 11.3 on my 32bit Lubuntu 18.04.
The installer installs 64bit version of Mathematica in default, so I can not run the installed version.
Below is the error output of the installer:
WARNING: Failed to install WolframScript system integration. See
/tmp/WolframScript-InstallErrors-8297 for more details.
But the error log file listed is empty when I cat it.
Below is the output when I run mathematica:
$ mathematica
can not find /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/11.3/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux/Mathematica
There is not a directory named Linux, but a directory named Linux-x86-64.
After consulting the system requirement page , I'm sure that Mathematica 11.3 can run on 32bit Linux. But they only tested it on Ubuntu 12.04–17.10, not on Ubuntu 18.04.
So my question is:
- Is it possible that Mathematica 11.3 can not install correctly on 32bit Lubuntu 18.04?
- What compatibility library do I need to correctly install the 32bit version?
- Is there some option in the command line that I can use to choose the 32bit instead of the default 64bit version?
My system settings are as follows:
$ uname -a
Linux **** 4.15.0-12-generic #13-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 06:23:34 UTC 2018 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1- noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Answer
As of version 11.3.0, support for 32-bit Linux has been discontinued.
Only 64-bit Linux is supported, and the system requirements page has now been updated to reflect that
http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/system-requirements.html
Additionally, I sent in a bug report since I believe the installer should have refused to run on a 32-bit system in the first place.
