Ubuntu – How to make Cisco WebEx work with 13.10 64bit

13.1064-bitwebex

I'm having a very hard time getting webex to work under Saucy. Up until now I've been able to just install a java plugin, install ia32-libs, and I was good to go. With Saucy ia32-libs is gone and it's up to us to figure out which 32-bit libraries we need to install.

So the question is, how do I install WebEx on 64bit Saucy without ia32-libs?

Best Answer

From this post, here is a step-by-step method that might work:

  1. Install JDK.
  2. Configure Java plugin for browser (no need for a 32-bit JDK or Firefox).
  3. Start a WebEx to create .so files inside $HOME/.webex/????/.
  4. Check for unresolved .so dependencies:
    ldd $HOME/.webex/????/*.so > $HOME/check.txt
  5. Search for missing libraries:
    grep "not found" $HOME/check.txt | sort | uniq
  6. Review the libraries; for example:
    libasound.so.2 => not found
libjawt.so => not found
libXmu.so.6 => not found
libXtst.so.6 => not found
libXv.so.1 => not found
  7. Find the corresponding packages:
    sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
  8. Locate that package that contains the missing libraries:
    apt-file search libXmu.so.6
apt-file search libjawt.so
  9. Install the missing libraries, for example:
    sudo apt-get install -y libxmu6:i386
sudo apt-get install -y libasound2:i386
sudo apt-get install -y libxv1:i386
sudo apt-get install -y libxtst6:i386
sudo apt-get install -y libgcj12-awt:i386
