AMD64 Ubuntu and Zend Studio 6

As a relatively new convert to Debian/Ubuntu, I found the process of getting Zend Studio 6 to run on my machine a little tricky. What I ended up doing was the following:# Install sun-jre
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
# Install libraries to allow 32bit software to run
# (not sure whether all are necessary)
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 util-linux
# Finally install Zend using the installed JRE
sudo ./ZendStudioForEclipse-6_1_0.bin LAX_VM /usr/bin/java
If the final install fails, it may be because /usr/bin/java isn’t pointing at the Sun version of java, you can check this by doing the following:java -versionwhich should output something likejava version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)If it doesn’t, you’ll need to change where the symbolic link /etc/alternatives/java points to.cd /etc/alternatives
rm java
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
