I tried to use the Flex SDK 3 with sun’s 5.0 jre - got a bunch of seg faults. Annoying… Not least because I hate wrangling Java….

I found this article. from back in 2006 about Flex 2 and Ubuntu.

Turns out the solution was pretty similar.

I already had java 6.0 installed.

I modified the mxmlx file

replacing the line with

JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin/java
$JAVA $VMARGS -jar "$FLEX_HOME/lib/mxmlc.jar" +flexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" "$@"


now the example build…
