✨ This content is AI generated and could be inaccurate. Generative AI Terms
This article explains whether 32-bit Linux shared libraries are required as prerequisites for Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS JEE and OSGi deployments running on 64-bit Linux systems.
Description description
Environment
- Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS (JEE and OSGi)
- Linux (all supported distributions)
Symptoms
A user preparing to deploy AEM 6.5 LTS (including Service Pack 2) on Linux needs to confirm if the 32-bit Linux shared libraries listed in the Adobe documentation are still required, given that the new LTS version runs in a 64-bit process. There are no specific error messages or stack traces; this is a prerequisite clarification prior to installation.
Cause
AEM Forms modules rely on certain 32-bit shared libraries for core functionality, and these dependencies remain mandatory even when the application is running in a 64-bit process.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
-
Review the official Adobe documentation for AEM Forms on Linux, including:
-
Installing AEM Forms on Linux
-
AEM Forms JEE Supported Platforms
-
AEM Forms OSGi Supported Platforms
-
AEM 6.5 LTS Technical Requirements
-
-
Confirm that the 32-bit Linux shared libraries listed are required for both JEE and OSGi deployments, regardless of whether the JVM is 64-bit.
-
Ensure that all environment-level prerequisites identified by Adobe for the selected LTS stack and Forms capabilities are met.
-
Install all required 32-bit libraries as specified in the documentation, in addition to any 64-bit runtime dependencies.
-
Proceed with the installation only after verifying all required libraries are present on the Linux system.
