The continuing story of Zend Studio 5.5.1 (part 2)

Everytime I install a new version of Ubuntu / Linux I’m hoping Zend Studio (the old/good one) will still be working. This time with Ubuntu 12.04 I again had to do this but it didn’t take longer than a couple of minutes.

First I had to install the java executable (otherwise I got a “java: not found” error message. Because the Sun JRE isn’t available anymore for Ubuntu (12.04) I installed the default one (icedtea I believe). To my amazing that worked perfectly!

Then I had to install some (i386) libs and it worked! libxcursor is need or else you’ll get a really ugly cursor in Zend Studio 5.

sudo apt-get install default-jre
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libxp6:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxcursor1:i386
ln -s /lib32/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

Thank you very much. I too tried Zend 6 and 7 but found both to fall way short of 5.5.

This post saved me so much time resolving a non working ide in mint 13.
