Tips for Installing on Linux Mint 15

[keithbrown]

1) Installer would not run. There is a JRE 32/64-bit compatibility problem. So:

[code title=””]$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
[/code]

2) I knew from other linux installs to make sure dos2unix is available:

[code title=””]$ sudo apt-get install dos2unix
[/code]

Note, on other ubuntu systems dos2unix does not technically exist. You have to use the “tofrodos” package:

[code title=””]$ sudo apt-get install tofrodos
$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo ln -s fromdos dos2unix
$ sudo ln -s todos unix2dos
[/code]

3) When running the commercial BridgePoint tool, I know I want tools for code translation, so:
[code title=””]$ sudo apt-get install wine
$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++5[/code]

The instructions above also work for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but in step 1 to install ia32-lis-multiarch you may need to follow these directions:

BridgePoint now has a developer’s guide that focuses on ubuntu. There is a FAQ that describes linux package-specifIc installation issues (as well as Windows). The Developer’s Getting started will point you to the FAQ,but here are inks:
