XAMPP, still a 32bit package fails to run in 64bit linux. This problem can be fixed by installing 32bit libraries, this would make all 32bit packages work in your 64bit linux distro. Just follow these steps,Step1: Go to Terminal.
Type the following,
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Step 2: Now the packages will be downloaded and installed
Go back to terminal again and run the following command,
/opt/lampp/lampp start
XAMPP will be up and running on your 64bit Linux distribution now. Start coding :)
