XAMPP 1.8 on Redhat 6.3

[bullethole]

I have a redhat 6.3 server which for various reasons I can not upgrade. I'm trying to upgrade from XAMPP 1.7 to 1.8 but when i try and start 1.8 I get

sh-4.1# sh -x ./lampp
+ case $(osguess) in
++ osguess
++ test -f /etc/redhat-release
++ egrep '9 ' /etc/redhat-release
+ export XAMPP_OS
+ export XAMPP_ROOT
+ . /share/xampp/xampplib
./lampp: line 66: /share/xampp/xampplib: No such file or directory

So it looks like osguess is failing because I'm on RH6. so i changed the script to look for 6.3 and i get
sh-4.1# sh -x ./lampp start
+ case $(osguess) in
++ osguess
++ test -f /etc/redhat-release
++ egrep 6.3 /etc/redhat-release

so something is not picking up the shared libraries, which are in the system. I did install the 64bit package of xampp

maybe that helps:

I used that post to resolve the inital problem of not having XAMPP_OS set, but now it can't find any of the shared libraries (e.g. libc.so.6 - which does exist). If i force the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the right location for the 64bit version of the library i get "id: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", setting to point to the 32bit version and I get XCOFF errors because its trying to load a 32bit library into a 64 bit build.

We have fixed this issue in both XAMPP versions:1.8.2-1 (with PHP 5.4) and 1.8.3-0 (with PHP 5.5)

Thanks for reporting it.
