‘XAMPP IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLY AS 32 BIT APPLICATION. PLEASE USE A 32 BIT COMPATIBILITY LIBRARY FOR YOUR SYSTEM’
Xampp worked fine when i was using linux mint 12 . But when i upgraded to 64-bit system , i ended with problem.
The installation of xampp works fine with 64-bit system. But when you try to invoke xampp, it says
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.
and as usual i tried in google for this and came to know that i ve to do 2 things.
1. commenting out few portions in conf file

| sudo apt-get install ia32-libs |
please dont do this in linux mint . its an 88 mb archive. after downloading 60 mb it got struck. not able to complete the process.
Instead go for
1
| sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 |
which will work fine.
now start xampp
1
| /opt/lampp/lampp start |
it should work fine
