32-BIT Development Libraries

[magno_grail]

Trying to load Wine with LinuxMint 19. Went through the instructions on the Wine site and the README file. ./configure says Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries. Fine, where are they? I could not find a directory or name to search for. Synaptic Package Manager has nothing under '32-BIT development libraries' and lots under '32-BIT' but which, all (fortran, gnome, cross)?
WineHQ forum was absolutely no help and I could not register because they expect you to know which 'distros' use .deb or something else, or the middle four characters of an odd number of character word. I realize they want to keep out automated registrations but that is completely stupid.
Yes, I did the apt-get update and upgrade. Before I did that Wine at least showed up in the Menu list with a few options, none of which worked. Now it does not.
Update:
I did try sudo apt-get install ia-32-libs and it is already the newest version. The only help that I have found useful so far is this:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/123273/ ... d-t/148831
This got it through ./configure and make:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386

I will report back when make is done.
