When you try to run installer with 64-bit version of jdk, java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError is thrown. For details see attached log. The behavior is same with both jdk 6.0 and jdk 5.0, only error message is different ("wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" with jdk 6.0 and "Can't load IA 32-bit .so on a AMD 64-bit platform" with jdk 5.0). Workaround is to install 32-bit version of jdk or jre and to run installer with --javahome <location_of_32-bit_jdk/jre> switch.
Created attachment 40812 [details] log with jdk 1.5.0_10-b03
Created attachment 40813 [details] log with jdk 1.6.0-b105
xadamek2, JDK 64 bit is not supported yet for either of the platforms. BTW, what does "uname -a" says ?
xadamek2, Could you please also attach the similar log on the same system when running on the JDK 5 (or 6) 32 bit ?
Created attachment 40818 [details] log of successful instalation with jre 1.6.0-b105
petr@eris:~> uname -a Linux eris 2.6.18.8-0.1-default #1 SMP Fri Mar 2 13:51:59 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux If 64-bit JDK is not supported yet, I suggest to add following information to Troubleshooting chapter of Installation instructions: * 64-bit JDK/JRE is not supported for running installer yet * Suggested workaround is to install 32-bit JRE or JDK and use it for installation with parameter --javahome * The problem is only with running installer, not with running NetBeans. Therefore, there is no problem to select 64-bit JDK for running NetBeans during installation process. * JRE is sufficient for installation process, but not for running NetBeans (so you don't need to download whole 32-bit JDK if you have 64-bit JDK already installed)
Thanks a lot for the suggestiongs. While this issue will soon be fixed, the fix won't make it into M9. Therefore it should definitely be release noted.
Documented in the NB 6.0 Preview RNs as follows: Issue #100760: On Linux, the installer does not work with 64-bit JDK. Description: When you try to run the installer with 64-bit version of both JDK 5.0 and 6.0, error messages are thrown. Workaround: Install 32-bit version of JDK or JRE and run the installer with the --javahome <location_of_32-bit_jdk/jre> switch.

Raising the priority since at least 2 users at nbusers@ list have run into the same issue.
In response to dlipin: "Raising the priority since at least 2 users at nbusers@ list have run into the same issue," add this user as well. I get the same behavior on my 64b version of Fedora Core 6 with JDK 1.6.0_01 64b version. NB 6.0 M9 installation attempted 2007-05-08.
Way too many similar reports. This issue needs to be made more generic. :)

ifilippova, awegscheider, please let's update the release notes entry for this issue. The only required change is to remove the references to Linux -- we need to make it more generic.

this is fixed...
The issue has been fixed for linux/solaris. The fix is still pending for windows and will be committed only after M10, as it is considered risky. Moving the issue to Beta.
whoever changed the milestone to TBD- you're conceding that netbeans won't install on Vista?
I've added proper handling of the windows platform's 64-bit scenario. AFAIK Dima has already committed the solaris libs but they will not be loaded. Passing to him.
Done.
