Trying to start BIRT on Ubuntu *seems* to complain about 64-bit lib

rpjday

(Completely new to BIRT and didn't see a forum devoted to simple installation issues so I'm asking here -- hope that's appropriate.)

Having been asked by a colleague to see if BIRT would run on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 system, I downloaded the following tarball:

birt-report-designer-all-in-one-linux-gtk-2_6_2.tar.gz

which allegedly is a self-contained archive with everything I need to run BIRT. So my first question would be, is that true in the sense that if I have Eclipse installed elsewhere on my system, that other version would be ignored? (In other words, could the proper running of this download be affected by something else I have installed?)

Moving on, I untarred that under my home directory, changed nothing and simply ran the "eclipse" executable I saw at the top level, to get:

$ ./eclipse
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
$

That's odd since this *is* a 64-bit system with a 64-bit kernel, and that library is a 64-bit library. It seems as if running eclipse is instead demanding to load a 32-bit version of that shared lib. Can anyone enlighten me here? I changed nothing in the untarred directory, simply ran that executable. Anyone seen something like this before? Thanks.

Whoops, I just noticed that that top-level eclipse executable is itself 32-bit, which is probably what's responsible for trying to drag in a 32-bit library. Is there no 64-bit build of a Linux BIRT install?
