Running Zend Studio on 64 bit Ubuntu

No Comments

This is obsolete (Zend Studio 7 has a 64 bit version now )
Zend Studio (6.1.2) is still 32 bits only (even 7.0 beta). I could install without problems, but some weird behaviors occured (impossible to connect to the web, impossible to synchronize repositories…). Here is my workaround :

1) Install ia32-sun-java6-bin (with synaptic)

2) modify jre to load (zend support) in zend .ini file

Default zend ini file is : /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudioForEclipse-6.1.2/ZendStudio.ini. Add the following lines to the start of the file:

; Run Zend Studio with system's JRE
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
; ----------------------------------------

Of course, adapt you path to libjvm.so (in synaptics, properties of ia32-sun-java6-bin->files).

64 bits version of Zend Studio is planned, but with no ETA

NB. Install

In order to install  you must have libc6-i386 and ia32-libs. If not make this :
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs
In my install of jaunty (9.04), il was already installed.
Thanks to Dominic for this tip.
