Fedora 8 x86_64 32 bit compatibility for XAMPP

[skybluec]

Hi all,

I'm running into a similar issue else where on the forum http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=32645, but kind of different. I'm running Fedora 8 on an AMD 64 bit machine.

When I try to start XAMPP, I get the usual "XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system."

The posts I've seen either say to install the glibc 32 bit packages or libgc.

I went to the package manager, checked glibc - 2.7.2.i386 and tried to apply, but got the following errors:

file /lib/ld-2.7.so from install of glibc-2.7-2 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.7-2
file /lib/libBrokenLocale-2.7.so from install of glibc-2.7-2 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.7-2
file /lib/libSegFault.so from install of glibc-2.7-2 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.7-2
file /lib/libanl-2.7.so from install of glibc-2.7-2 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.7-2
...
(truncated - about 270 lines of error messages)

I have the following glibc libraries installed also:

glibc-common - 2.7.2.x86_64
glibc-headers - 2.7.2.x86_64
glibc-devel - 2.7.2.x86_64
glibc - 2.7.2.x86_64
glibc - 2.7.2.i686
glibc-devel - 2.7.2.x86_64
kernel-headers - 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.noarch

Do I need to install glibc - 2.7.2.i386? If not, what should I be doing? Any help would be much appreciated.

Problem fixed, I just commented out the part of the lampp config file which checked for 32 bit compatibility and it started fine.

See below:

# XAMPP is currently 32 bit only
# case `uname -m` in
# *_64)
# if /opt/lampp/bin/php -v > /dev/null 2>&1
# then
# :
# else
# $de && echo "XAMPP gibt es zur Zeit nur als 32-Bit
# Applikation. Bitte verwende eine 32-Bit Kompatibilitaetsbibliothek
# fuer Dein System."
# $de || echo "XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit
# application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your
# system."
# exit
# fi
# ;;
#esac

note: I don't know what commenting out esac did at the end. use this fix at your own risk.

case/esac
esac is 'end of case' in Unix shell scripts and will do as it says put an end to the case statement.

So in the above code commenting it out is part of the whole comment out process and obviously is required.


Thanks for posting back with your fix as it will help others searching for a solution with a similar problem.
Thanks.

You're welcome and thanks for the follow up on esac

You're welcome - glad it helped.

I have run into the same problem now. I'm running a FC12 on a x64 machine. I've installed XAMPP 1.7.3a. But I can not edit the file (i'm owner of it but..) Ok now I understand how to edit it, so i did and I get the following error message:

The edit I did in the lampp file was:

# XAMPP is currently 32 bit only
#case `uname -m` in
# *_64)
# if /opt/lampp/bin/php -v > /dev/null 2>&1
# then
# :
# else
# $de && echo "XAMPP gibt es zur Zeit nur als 32-Bit #Applikation. Bitte verwende eine 32-Bit Kompatibilitaetsbibliothek fuer #Dein System."
# $de || echo "XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit #application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system."
# exit
# fi
# ;;
#esac

How do I make Fedora download 3rd party software? I can't seem to install mp3 support for Fedora or any software that's not made by Fedora developers. How do I let Fedora download and install install 3rd party software just like changing the software sources in Ubuntu?
