Error in Eclipse

[Ragnarok]

hello,
I have recently installed Eclipse and it has been working fine(slow, but fine)
well now i am getting this error everytime i start it up

JVM terminated. Exit code=127
/usr/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-Dosgi.sharedConfiguration.area=/usr/lib/eclipse/configuration
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch ppc
-launcher /usr/bin/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 17800b
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-Dosgi.sharedConfiguration.area=/usr/lib/eclipse/configuration
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar

Should i just reinstall it or or is there a patch/easy fix for this?

Last thing i did was add ps3bodega repo and update firefox 3 to 3.0.1
which seems to crash more now

I've not used Eclipse, I am not a coder but since I also run FF 3.0.1 I started it up to see what would happen. This is the error I got:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/9/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3236.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4nsID5ParseEPKc

I don't have enough free space available to install eclipse-sdk at the moment or I'd check it on my system.

It appears to be a bug in eclipse ... ? Googled it for you ... see here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372061

And here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174547

And possibly try starting Eclipse the way the say to do it in the above topic on ubuntuforums, in this post. (java -jar startup.jar)

[Ragnarok]

I tried that and it returns:

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from startup.jar

I changed directory to /usr/share/eclipse
tried again and all it does is return to terminal

I will try installing it again and report back

Thanks for your help.

Paul (ppietro) would surely be more help with this than me ... he's a Java software developer. You might want to send him a PM in case he misses this topic.

Try:

Code: Select all

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="" eclipse

i updated to the latest version from here

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/dow ... ppc.tar.gz

no more error and it doesn't seem to hog as much memory as the version that comes with YDL 6


Thank You All For Your Help

Hiya!

I haven't read thru all of this post yet... (I will, I will)

But - I have a suggestion.

If you haven't already, you'll want to use IBM's Java to run eclipse. By default, YDL is set up to use gcc's Java, which is much slower and slightly buggy.

An easy way to do this is to install the IBM Java of your choice, then create a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin.

e.g.

Code: Select all

ln -s /opt/ibm/java2-ppc-50/jre/bin/java /usr/local/bin

You'll have to do this as root, BTW.

You can verify that the IBM Java is found first by opening a terminal window and typing which java. You should see something like this:

Code: Select all

[paulp@yurie bin]$ which java
/usr/local/bin/java
[paulp@yurie bin]$

also - java -version is good to look at:

Code: Select all

[paulp@yurie ~]$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build pxp32devifx-20071025 (SR6b))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Linux ppc-32 j9vmxp3223-20071007 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20071004_14218_bHdSMR
JIT  - 20070820_1846ifx1_r8
GC   - 200708_10)
JCL  - 20071025
[paulp@yurie ~]$

Now, start eclipse normally - it should load a lot faster and be much more stable.

NOTE: these instructions are for IBM Java 5.0. The procedure is similar for IBM Java 6.0.

Cheers,
Paul

installing xulrunner-dev seems to fix this.

[uncholowapo]

I think you mean:

Code: Select all

sudo yum installl xulrunner-devel
