Why doesn't Wolfram Workbench work on 64-bit Ubuntu?

  • 772

I have downloaded the shell script (Workbench_2.0.0_LINUX.sh), I have run it as root with it giving no complaints, relevant looking files have appeared in /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/ and it has created the executable "WolframWorkbench" in /usr/local/bin.

However, when I run WolframWorkbench from terminal it spits out

/usr/local/bin/WolframWorkbench: 46: exec: /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/WolframWorkbench: not found

That file does indeed exist, and is executable. I have also tried running it directly, and I have also tried running the /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/Executables/WolframWorkbench too. Is there something I'm missing?

(I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit with openjdk7)

    It's a 32-bit executable which requires the ia32-libs compatibility package on 64-bit Ubuntu. Fix your problem with the below and then try running it again:

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
