Howto install rumus2 on Ubuntu amd64 / x86-64

I have a desktop Ubuntu amd64 installation (64bit kernel and binaries). But this practice should work in general for 64bit.

1. Download the latest Linux (Debian) binary package distribution of Rumus2 software from http://www.fxclub.com/rumus/


2. Install the package using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all Rumus2.deb
Usually, package files are placed into /usr/local/

3. To resolve 32-bit binary dependences (for example, /usr/local/bin/rumus executable depends on libqt-mt.so.3) you can use the getlibs tool, details about which you can find here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
or just google for ubuntu getlibs.

Usually you can install it from packages:
sudo aptitude install getlibs


4. Resolve the dependences by running
sudo getlibs /usr/local/bin/rumus

5. Enjoy!
