Installation on 64-bit linux

I see no 64-bit version of JChem for 64-bit linux (ubuntu) systems.  Is there a version, or is there a way to install from jchem-5.9.3-linux.sh on a 64-bit operating system?

The jchem-VERSION-linux.sh works both on 32 and 64bit Linux systems.

Please take care that Oracle Java has to be installed to the machine before you launch this installer.

Hi,

having the same problems we will post here a procedure to get the Marvin programs running on Ubuntu:

Download JAVA SE Development Kit 6 Update 31 (the latest

version at the time of this writing) from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/ />Be sure to select the Linux x64 Version. The file name

should end in .bin,  and select the "Accept License ..."

radio button.



Then enter the following commands in the Terminal (first change

to the folder where you downloaded the file):



$ chmod +x jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin

$ ./jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin

$ sudo chown root. -R jdk1.6.0_31/

$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_31/ /usr/lib/jvm/

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31/bin/java" 1

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31/bin/javac" 1

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31/bin/javaws" 1

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac

$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws



At the last three commands, if there are multiple jdks installed

(for instance OpenJDK), the newly installed oracle java should be

given highest priority.

Good luck !

Dear Hans-Ulrich,

Thanks for your comment.

I guess it is very useful to any Linux user who would like to replace OpenJDK to Oracle Java.

I followed the procedure (Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, Oracle SDK7, Marvin 6.2.0) and couldn't get Marvin Space to work!
