Installation problem amd64(?)

I get the following message

"

Application Server could not be installed correctly. The following RPM packages need to be installed: compat-libstdc++, compat-libstdc++-devel Review the log file under this directory: /opt/sun/Creator2_1

"

when installing creator-2_1-linux-ml.bin. My machine has a 1 x AMD Athlon 64 3800+ / 2.4 GHz processor and I run Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

You will want to do exactly what the error message says. Add the libc-compat libraries. These are the compatability libraries that are needed by Many applications to run with libc libraries that are newer then what the original application was compiled with.

Howto 'Add the libc-compat libraries'? Ubuntu/Debian do not recommend .rpm conversions to .deb

Hi Dan,

These are standard glibc libraries that come with every Linux distribution. I'm not familiar enough with Ubuntu to help out in finding them there. Sorry.

David Botterill did do a blog on installing to Ubuntu a while back though. Maybe this will be of help to you.

Good luck

The problem is that the Creator installer is a 32bit application. There seems to be a compatibility library for the x64 Ubuntu version missing. I wanted to look into that but so far simply did not find the time:-(

You would need a 32bit version of the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package. I still have it on my 6.06 Kubuntu 32bit.

But I'm not an Debian/Ubuntu expert enough to tell you how to build that for a 64bit system.

I hope this helps,

-- Marco
