The installer of Flex Builder Linux Alpha2 is modified slightly to help people trying it out on 64Bit OS. We need to download 32Bit Eclipse, 32Bit Sun JRE and 32bit Firefox for the installation to go successful.
If you are starting the installer on a 64bit OS - (It shows this OS Check message)
If you launch the installer with 64bit Sun JRE - (it exits with this message)
If you choose 64Bit Eclipse while selecting the eclipse path then it throws the below error and exits.
Also note that you will need to install Flash Player debug player manually by copying the libflashplayer.so file into the downloaded version of 32bit Firefox on your 64bit machine.

Hi Arun,
First of all, cheers on a very helpful blog. I'm just starting my work in the Flash / Flex world, and as a Debian AMD64 user, this place is exactly what I was looking for (a bit a shame though it's needed at all - support for 64bit Linux in adobe is, by all measures, catastrophical :-{ ).
Anyway, to business: let's say I can pass on all the eclipse / gui builder stuff, and just want to use the command line tools (mxmlc, compc and debugger) - will these tools work on my 64 bit machine without the need for 32 bit java and the rest? Is that even reasonable ? (the project I'm working on will include extending the FLVPlayback component from Flash CS3, and then a lot of ActionScript - but not a lot of gui-ish stuff)
Thanx,
Avish
It might work but its not supported.
