I procrastinated getting to installing and initially downloading adobe air on ubuntu. On my 32bit laptop, it was quite easy. On my AMD64 Ubuntu desktop, it took just a bit of work with this handy utility called getlibs. For a 64 bit processor, you do these additional little tasks:
sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns
sudo getlibs -l libnss3.so.1d libnssutil3.so.1d libsmime3.so.1d libssl3.so.1d libnspr4.so.0d libplc4.so.0d \
libplds4.so.0d libgnome-keyring.so libgnome-keyring.so.0 libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32
Then finally do a “sudo ldconfig” and you should be done after downloading and installing the air binary using this site as a reference…
And why would you want to do that you may ask? Well, there is a dearth of decent twitter desktop applications on Linux that I can see. The air applications have a wondrous quality in their design screen UI. On ubuntu karmic, it all just works very well. Synaptic can be used to install the package if you want. Very cool candy!
