Zend Studio on Gentoo AMD64
Since I've been job-hopping for the last bit, I've had the chance to install fresh gentoo builds on quite a few 64-bit computers in the last couple of months.

I've also been looking at different IDEs for PHP development.  After using jEdit now for close to 5 years, I've gotta say the one which impresses me the most is Zend Studio for Eclipse - (freely available (albeit crippled) at Zend.com).

The first computer I installed it on, didn't give me any grief at all.  It just worked.  The next few, however, because I was installing from scratch, gave me a few problems, so I thought I'd jot down what is needed in order for ZendStudio to properly install and execute.

If you have a 64-bit computer, the following libraries are needed, but never explicitly requested.  I'm pretty sure if you have a 32-bit computer, everything will work just fine out of the box.
  • emul-linux-x86-java (required for installation.  Installation will fail without it)
  • emul-linux-x86-gtklibs (required for execution.  If not there, ZendStudio will simply exit right after invocation, with no GUI loading at all.

After those two are installed, (along with some sort of X-Window system, of course) things should work just fine.

Hope this helps someone.

I started using Eclipse a few weeks ago because of the Android Development Toolkit (ADT) available for it. I just installed Eclipse Galileo a few days ago. So far I like it a lot. The method of updating and installing plugins is different. Takes a little getting used to but in the end I think it will be better. The ADT plugin won't be ready for a few more weeks but I've got plenty to do in the meantime.

I like how Eclipse can be used for so many different development areas. I like double-clicking the tab of a view or an editor to give it the whole space when I want, and then double-clicking it again and everything going back to the way it was.
