When I try to install ia32-libs in apt gui, it tell me:
ruby-vmc: Depends: ruby-rubyzip2 (>= 2.0.1) but 2.0.1-0ubuntu4 have installed Depends: libhighline-ruby1.9.1 but %s not installed Depends: ruby-rest-client (>= 1.6.1) but 1.6.7-1 have installed Depends: ruby-terminal-table (>= 1.4.2) but 1.4.2-0ubuntu3 have installed Depends: ruby-json-pure (>= 1.5.1) but %s not installed
Next is the error when I execute: sudo apt-get -f install

When I execute:
sudo apt-get remove ruby-json-pure ruby-json 正在读取软件包列表... 完成 正在分析软件包的依赖关系树 正在读取状态信息... 完成 **package ruby-json-pure not installed,so it will not be removed** You maybe use “apt-get -f install” to correct this error: unsatisfied dependices: libjson-ruby : depends on: ruby-json but it will not be installed libjson-ruby1.8 : depends on: ruby-json but it will not be installed ruby-vmc : depends on: ruby-json-pure (>= 1.5.1) but it will not be installed E: unsatisfied dependices。Please try to execute “apt-get -f install”。
So now I can not remove or install anything . Please help to solve this problem step by step, thanks.

It looks like you have conflicting repositories configured and packages from those repositories are both trying to install and are conflicting. This is not an simple answer fix. Usually its a step by step of finding which packages conflict, removing them and installing the packages you want. If you are not very familiar with this process, it may be best to ask in a chat channel.
The first step, which I can answer is given in the output you pasted.
So the ruby-json package is conflicting with the ruby-json-pure package. Whoever made the packages didn't correctly specify the conflicts-with on the package. We should file a bug.
You could start by trying to remove both packages and installing one
I just tried to unsuccessfully recreate the error on my 12.10 system and I do not have a ruby-json-pure pacakge available. What repositories do you have enabled?
Finally, I'll suggest that instead of using system ruby, you consider using rbenv so that you can have both ruby-json and ruby-json-pure in different environments.
