danderso Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have built a 64-bit .DEB package, which has worked just fine so far on two ubuntu machines, if anyone wants it. Yes please! I fudged one together that worked on my Ubuntu 10.04 build a few years ago, but since upgrading to 12.04, it's no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonHobson Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have it on a number of Debian machines. I manually pulled the files from the package and created (well adapted another) init file. You also have to install 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system. It makes a mockery of the claim to support Linux clients when really they don't - providing a couple of out of date installers that don't support the majority of installations doesn't really count IMO. There's no excuse (other than "can't be a**ed") for not providing 32 and 64 bit clients in both RPM and DEB formats which would cover the majority of current Linux systems.
