I have a 64-bit ubuntu 9.10 workstation that I am using a 32-bit jdk. Do I install the 32 or 64 bit version of myeclipse?
The 64-bit version failed and I am trying the 32-bit version. I have 32-big compat libraries installed on ubuntu, but don’t know if I’m missing anything to get the 32-bit version of myeclipse working.
Thanks.
meinholz,
Ideally, you should install 64 bit ME and also use 64-bit JDK. What is the error you are getting while trying to install ME? Can you copy and paste error log here and also attach screenshot in support?
The 32-bit version seems to be working correctly for now with the exception that I have to set the environment variable:
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
to work around some GDK bugs in eclipse.I’m using the 64-bit OS to be able to use all the memory in my workstation (> 3GB). I’m using the 32-bit Java because I don’t need big heap space and I’ve read articles that 64-bit Java is slower and takes more memory and the only good reason to use it is if you need really large heap space (which I don’t for development).
I was just curious if the 64-bit dependency was on the OS or Java and it appears to be on Java.
I have attached the screen shot of the error message when I try and install 64-bit MyEclipse with 32-bit Java on 64-bit Ubuntu.

I can’t find a way to upload the attachment but the Message test is:
