SoapUI 4.0.1 Fails on Linux using 64 Bit JDK

Does SoapUI (and SoapUI Pro) work on Linux with a 64 bit JDK? When I try to use the binary install, I get an error when it tries to run - it aborts. When I try to run the Shell script install, it tells met there is an incompatibility between 64 and 32 bit.

I have been running 3.5.1 both Free and Pro versions with 64 bit JDK on Ubuntu Linux. But 4.0.1 appears to not work....

    Hi!

    Yes, it is possible to run soapUI Pro on Linux 64-bit.
    You have an external JRE configured and then download the non JRE bundled install.
    This is the one for 4.0.2-SNAPSHOT: http://www.eviware.com/nightly-builds/soapui-pro/4.0.2-SNAPSHOT/soapui-pro-4.0.2-SNAPSHOT-linux-bin.zip

    If you are getting a message such as 
    Running a 32-bit JVM is not supported on this platform.

    go to line 130 of the $SOAPUI_HOME/bin/soapui-pro.sh script and comment out that line: 
    #   JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -d32"


    We have put an issue in or backlog about not enforcing 32-bit architecture for the Linux dist [SOAPUI-2668] and will have a look at it as soon as possible.

    Hopes this helps!

    Hi,

    this is one of 3 failures I experienced with 4.0.1 and 4.0.2_SNAPSHOT versions of SoapUI on Ubuntu 11.04. This one workaround fixed me in just starting up the application on JDK 64-bit.

    But there are following issues, which I will provide a link to:
    Something what you can see in app log or in terminal when starting using term
    Message:
    ERROR:org.mozilla.xpcom.XPCOMException: The function "run" returned an error condition  (0x80004005)

    fix might be found at viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7765&p=27165#p27165

    There is also something related to not fixed dependency on old libraries, so this make soapui on new Ubuntu and maybe also other Debian based distributions crashed.
    Message:

    The fix could be found at http://hirostouch.blogspot.com/2011/05/ ... -1104.html and it completly helped to fix my problem with one difference. My distribution is type of amd64, so I just needed to download and extract libraries to /usr/lib from this link: http://91.189.94.219/natty/amd64/libglib2.0-0/download

    From now soapui 4 and newer are working on my Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 linux machine just fine.

    Hope this helps.
