Hi. I got the same issue on a Fedora 39 fresh installation.
After I installed Xampp ( xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run ) and tried to run it, the terminal returned the same error:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.
I googled for a solution, but didn’t find anything valuable for the case of a fresh installation of Fedora.
Can you help?
