Isabelle on 64bit ubuntu with 32bit libraries

Isabelle typically gives a warning when you try to run it on a 64bit machine:

### Cannot execute Poly/ML in 32bit mode (missing shared libraries for C/C++)
### Using bulky 64bit version of Poly/ML instead

On my ubuntu installation, the fix was to do the following:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Hopefully this will be useful for someone! I couldn't find the answer on the web.
