Installing Mozart/Oz on a 64 bits Ubuntu

It's not that hard, and is based on information gathered on the net ( here and on the mailing list).

First, install emacs and libc6-i386

sudo apt-get install emacs libc6-i386

Then download the binary tarball from the mozart website, and decompress it in /usr/local:

<br />wget -O /tmp/mozart-1.4.0.tar.gz http://www.mozart-oz.org/download/mozart-ftp/store/1.4.0-2008-07-02-tar/mozart-1.4.0.20080704-linux-i486.tar.gz<br />(cd /usr/local && sudo tar zxvf /tmp/mozart-1.4.0.tar.gz && rm /tmp/mozart-1.4.0.tar.gz)<br />

You can now setup you PATH so that the oz executable is found immediately:

echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mozart/bin' >> ~/.profile
. ~/.profile

And here comes something I didn't find on the net: you should call the oz exectuable by telling it it's running on another architecture (see man setarch). That is done here by prepending the oz command by linux32:

linux32 oz

You can of course ease this by creating an alias:

echo 'alias oz="linux32 oz"' >> ~/.bash_aliases
. ~/.bash_aliases

Now you show be able to start oz and Browse some data.

There's also a directory /usr/local/mozart/lib and you might need to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf , but that was not needed for me, but I'm still a beginner in Mozart :-)
