Problems running FrostWire on Ubuntu 8.04 with 64bit JVM?

If you recently upgraded your Ubuntu to 8.04 (64bit version), the Sun JVM that comes with it may be giving you an error similar to this one:


Loading FrostWire:
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0×00007fa25489d755, pid=8123, tid=1082538320
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (10.0-b22 mixed mode linux-amd64)
# Problematic frame:
# C [libc.so.6+0x30755] catgets+0×15
#


Users from our FrostWire Forum came up with a solution:

I have a solution for those of us running 64 bit systems:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin

Code:

sudo update-alternatives –config java

Then choose the ia32 version of Java 6.

Thanks a lot guys.
