Prebuilt Linux binary does not work on 64-bit

[prusnak]

When I download Linux binary form http://energia.nu/download/ and run it on 64-bit system I get:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/stick/Applications/energia-0101E0009/lib/librxtxSerial.so: /home/stick/Applications/energia-0101E0009/lib/librxtxSerial.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch) thrown while loading gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver

When I explored the version built from source I found out that librxtxSerial.so and librxtxSerial64.so are the same file (64-bit), which is not true for 32-bit download.

Are we supposed to manually rename librxtxSerial64.so to librxtxSerial.so on 64-bit machine? Some autodetection in RXTXcomm.jar would be nice ...

Manually renaming the file as above worked for me on a 64-bit system. It'd definitely be good if it could be automatically handled - or at least if it could be caught and a sensible error message given (which could state that you need to do the rename on 64-bit systems).

Yes, I had the same issue and renaming the files was what I had to do to be able to start it at all. The second thing was another error that prevented me from compiling anything:

/home/james/Energia/energia-0101E0009/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/as: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

was the solution. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.

Linux 64-bit has been added to the releases.
