Installation of AS 8.2 and 9 fails on Debian Linux (amd64)

Hi all,

after doing my first steps with Java Studio Creator on my local development machine I was trying to install an application server on my 'offshore' webserver which is running Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 amd64.

A simple ./sjsas_pe-9_0-linux.bin doesn't work and hangs at "Deleting temporary files..." - searched there and found some tips - tried them all.

- Installed a J2SE and verified it works (64bit version)

- unset JAVA_HOME and PATH and tried to provide -javahome on commandline, but then J2SE isn't found at all

- reset JAVA_HOME and same error

- unpacked AS 8.2 and tried to invoke like described in release notes, results in "Attach to native process failed"

Now I don't have any more ideas what to do, so any help is welcome :-)

Maybe it's an amd64 issue - had some problems earlier with other programs and my development system is running in 32bit mode.

Thans in advane,

Jan

Jan,

error you are getting ("Attach to native process failed") means that native toolkit executable used by AS installation toolkit is not compatible with your system. One thing I can suggest is that instead of sjsas_pe-9_0-linux.bin you download and install corresponding Linux Glassfish build:

https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/04May06.html

Application server binaries from this Glassfish build are identical to those used in SJS AS PE 9 bundle, but Glassfish installer is based on ant so you should be able to install on your system.

Hi!I thought of this kind of problem. Thanks for your hint, I tried the Glassfish build and it works rellay fine now and was installable without any problem at all.Cheers,Jan
