1.6.2 crashes upon startup (Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit)

On my Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit 1.6.2 crashes:

mattias@barium:~$ sudo strace -f -e trace=file -o /tmp/trace.out arduino16
Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: ''
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.sun.jna.Native.pointerSize()I

The strace output hints to a problem (incompatibility?) of JNI. With which JDK and JNI was the binary for linux 64 bit built?

OK, please close, I found the appropriate thread.

I am waiting for the next nightly or trying to build myself. Unti 1.63 is ready you probably should point linux users to 1.6.1.
