Can not run my old sketches with Processing-1.5.1

Archana11

Hello Experts,

When I try to run my sketches on Processing-1.5.1 , I keep getting this error :

[0] "Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM."

[1] "Please install the desired version."

Using startup command:
{command=command=java -d32 -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:8761,suspend=y -Xms64m -Xmx1000m -Xdock:name=sketch_141220a -Djava.library.path=:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java -cp /var/folders/38/q_qcqkv54190vzyq97gnh_0w0000gn/T/sketch_141220a688941586909458182temp:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/pde.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/core.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ant.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ant-launcher.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/antlr.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ecj.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jna.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/quaqua.jar -ea processing.core.PApplet "--editor-location=433,84" --external --display=0 --sketch-path=/var/folders/38/q_qcqkv54190vzyq97gnh_0w0000gn/T/untitled4789610356922112448sketches/sketch_141220a sketch_141220a , quote=quote=", address=address=127.0.0.1:8761}

It's very important for me, coz I have made several programs using this version and now in coming days I have to do some installations regarding this sketches.

And Processing 2.1.1 not supporting some old libraries. And even I don't have enough time to again make the same sketches in Processing-2.1.1.

I have searched about it to this forum and realize that some people has face this problem, but by following them , I can't solve this issue.

I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, Processing 1.5.1 (64 bit) with updated Java 7

Please give me some idea to again running my sketches with Processing-1.5.1....

Make sure you've got installed very updated JDK Java SE For Mac OS X. Current latest is 8u25:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Inside Processing 1.5.1's installed folder, rename "/java/" subfolder to something else.
That'll force Processing 1.5.1 to use system's own Java you've just installed! :ar!

Good luck! %%-

Hi @GoToLoop,

I have installed jdk 8, and inside the Processing-1.5.1 folder , rename the java folder to something else , but Porcessing-1.5.1 does not start...

Seems like the removal of "/java/" subfolder trick doesn't work for Mac version: :(

Perhaps you should on emulation, like VirtualBox, in order to run Processing 1.5.1.
Choose a light Linux distro like LXLE as the guest OS and install Processing there:

Hello @GoToLoop,

I have downloaded lxle, but dont know to install it on mac. The downloaded .iso file has given folders/files :

casper, install, isolinux, md5sum.txt, preseed,, README.diskdefines, ubuntu

I have searched about it on net, but didn't get anything helpful..

Hey, @GoToLoop,

Its working... :)>-

I have downloaded LXLE, but don't know to install it on Mac.

I guess by now you've found out we need to install it inside VirtualBox VM emulator as a guest OS! <:-P

Has anybody found out an answer to this problem, other than emulation?
