How to fix GTK settings?


Hi,

I am pretty sure my GTK is broken. Eclipse won't start, it generates the following error message when I tried to start it. (A portion from the .log file)

!SESSION May 03, 2005 11:54:09.92 ----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=M200503110845
java.version=1.5.0_01
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi May 03, 2005 11:54:09.93
!MESSAGE An error occured while automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.core.resources (46).
!STACK 0
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.core.internal.compatibility.PluginActivator.start() of bundle org.eclipse.core.resources.

at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker(BundleHost.java:421)
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.start(AbstractBundle.java:293)


Also, Adobe Reader 7 could not be launched either. Anyone has any ideas? Is it a good idea to update GTK?

thanks

How did you install GTK in the first place? By source? URPMI? RPM?

I updated my GTK (GLIB,PANGO,ATK) and installed it into my /usr directory. Haven't had a problem since.

Thanks for your reply Micro420. I had spend a day cracking this problem and now the problem is solved. It is not GTK's problem at all. For eclipse, something is wrong with the 3.0.2 version I downloaded. I am using 3.0.1 now and it works fine.

There is an issue with Adobe Reader 7.0 and SCIM. In order to run Adobe Reader 7.0 properly, I need to do

>scim -f x11 -c simple -ns socket -d
>export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
>export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
>acroread

However, doing this will disable the SCIM. My dumb walk-around for the problem is to create a intermediate script to load acroread. In the script I first run " export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
>export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim" then invoken the real acroread. acroread can be launched without parameter. However, you cannot pass a filename as a file name, it won't run inside firefox even you have the plugin installed for firefox.

I hope mandrake will have update for this problem soon. If anyone knows a better fix to the problem will be appreciated.

thanks
