Servers won't start in a fresh install in Fedora 39

Hi. I downloaded the latest, stable Fedora 39 (workstation edition). Then I downloaded xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0 from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html and installed it according to https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_linux.html .
After closing the installer, I run the suggested line:
Code: Select all
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

but get the following error:
Code: Select all
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.

After searching online for possible solutions, I found a guide at https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-xampp-on-fedora/ and decided to follow their method, unsuccessfully. Even though it also installs the "32 bit" library libnsl.
Next, I found an old page suggesting updating the links of the libraries as follows:
Code: Select all
cd /lib64
sudo ln -s libnsl.so.2 libnsl.so.1
sudo ln -s libnsl.so.1 libnsl.so

Still, the problem persists. Any idea of how to fix it? I appreciate your help.

Hi. I got the same issue.
I have a fresh installation of Fedora 39, but after I installed Xampp ( xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run ) and tried to run it, the terminal returned the same error:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.

I googled for a solution, but didn't find anything valuable for my case ( a fresh installation of Fedora).
If you have fixed it, could you please tell me what was the solution in your case?
