Arggh!  Accurev!  Your only support for Ubuntu is for Hardy and earlier?  What’s up with that?  In their defense, Accurev actually runs on 32-bit versions of Lucid…  But you’ll find it will die without an error on 64-bit versions of the OS… The only way around it is to install a 32-bit version of Lucid.  I found that out the hard way.

Here’s a link to the Accurev site and its support matrix.

    Hi, while it’s true that only a few versions of Ubuntu are officially certified (as this requires a full test suite and there are *many* Linux distros), you’ll find that the AccuRev client runs on almost any version flawlessly. In the case of an installer failure, a workaround would be to install AccuRev on a supported platform and just copy the /accurev dir over to your machine. As for the 64-bit problem, have you checked to ensure that the 32-bit libraries are installed on your machine prior to installing? Something like “sudo apt-get install ia32-libs” on Ubuntu?

    I typically install the 32 bit libraries by default on 64 bit systems — but alas! I had to burn down that machine. I’ll give it another try and let you know!
