Installing 32-bit Java SDK on Ubuntu 9.10 Server

[TheDelChop]

Title says most of it, could anybody help me install the 32-bit versiof of the JDK in my x64 version of Ubuntu Server 9.10?

I am not sure if this (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu.html) is what you are looking for ??

[TheDelChop]

No, I can do this, my problem is I've got 64-bit Java on my 64-bit OS (Ubunutu Server 9.10 x64), but I'm trying to run an app that seems to need the 32-bit version. I'm wondering if I can also install this on my server, and if so, where can I get the packages?

Thanks,

Joe

I'm having the same problem.

x64 Ubuntu 9.10 Server install, running a 64Bit Java VM.

Cannot execute a particular .jar because it needs a 32Bit VM according to the error log.


java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM


(This is the first Java app I've encountered this problem with, all my other Java apps work fine!)

I've tried d/ling the jdk from sun, but when I run it I get the following error:



jdk-6u17-linux-i586.bin: 477: ./install.sfx.7302: not found
Failed to extract the files. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of
the Installation Instructions on the download page for more information.


Is it possible I need some more 32-bit libs that I don't have installed?

[TheDelChop]

It does in fact seem that it was a dependency issue. I installed the 32-bit jre (sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java6-bin) and that seemed to install the relevent libs I needed to then install the 32-bit java SDK. Hope this helps.

I'm not exactly sure what the guy above me is saying, but the package for 32-bit java is "ia32-sun-java6-bin", but it will not install from the repository.



$ sudo apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin
...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Broken packages


Sounds like it's only supported for 9.04. Can I compile 32-bit java for my computer?

However im not initially sure how to follow the guide some help would be nice.

I was able to install it with the method posted here

However it would not run properly.
