a day in the life of wayne ward….

Having problems running some java apps on ubuntu?
Will they may be more suited for 32 bit maybe?
Get a terminal and type sudo -s (and enter password)
Type :> apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin
Now find your java app you are trying to run and run it like this

/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/bin/java andtheappnamehere

And your app runs 32 bit java!!!

If you dont want to type that line every time just make a link like this

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/bin/java /usr/bin/java32

Now you just type java32 yourappname
