Comment 2 athompson 2007-06-16 17:22:28 UTC

this is the (most recent) installer i've tried i've tried 'basic' and 'standard':

http://bits.netbeans.org/download/6.0/nightly/200706160000/

interestingly, there is no longer an option specifically for 64-bit linux.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2007-06-16 17:36:16 UTC

Use ZIP builds in the meantime rather than the installer.

Comment 4 dlipin 2007-06-16 21:26:29 UTC

The workaround is to run installer using 32bit JVM with the help of --javahome installer argument.
