Eclipse does not launch

phys · 04-14-2009, 10:34 AM

Hello Slackers;
I downloaded official eclipse binary and tried to launch eclipse by executing "./eclipse", but eclipse did not launch. "java" and "javac" are set to "/usr/lib/java/bin/".

Code:

phys@slackbox:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode)
phys@slackbox:~$

Log file is;

*.log file
Thanks.

Besides java itself, are there any other dependencies needed? I tried going through the log you provided, but it seems rather long-winded. Perhaps you might want to consider an eclipse package from either slacky.eu or a build script from slackbuilds.org ? You might have better luck that way, instead of just downloading the 'generic' from sun.

I've got the same error too. I receive this error with eclipse-ccp...

Thanks Jeebizz, I've installed "eclipse classic" using SBo slackbuild script, but still the same error message appears while launching program, then eclipse terminates. I have also tried to install older versions of JDK and JRE, nothing happened.

Code:

phys@slackbox:~$ eclipse

I'm trying to contact the developers, I hope it isn't a slackware-only bug.

Edit: found a work-around
I downgraded seamonkey and Eclipse is working again!

metrofox · 04-17-2009, 11:30 AM

What version of seamonkey are you using at the moment?

Hi,

currently i'm using eclipse to develop my java projects and i have been using this on slackware for about a year.

I hope the eclipse that you mention is about the IDE for developing java projects and you install using the slack build.

For me, i download from this website:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/dow...nux-gtk.tar.gz

1) Untar the file

Code:

tar -zxvf <eclipse file>

2) Copy the untar file into your desire directory

3) go into the eclipse file and run.

Code:

cd eclipse
./eclipse &

You should be running without any problems.

metrofox,

Code:

gtl@predator:~$ seamonkey -version
SeaMonkey 1.1.16, Copyright (c) 2003-2009 mozilla.org, build 2009041115
gtl@predator:~$

vitalstrike82,

yup! that's the one! are you using Slackware 12.2 or Slackware-current? There are some differences, you know!

Happy Slacking

In the error log it seems eclipse is receiving SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault), so it doesn't look like a dependency problem at all but a program crash. It may be a problem with Java, but this is pure speculation.

I'm using slackware-current, I'll do some changes on the system to test what could be the causes. The eclipse's developers don't answer to my report...They suck!

gustaveiras,

The i'm using slackware 12.1

If you want it to be trouble free, download the eclipse tar file from the eclipse website.

Just untar, place in and directory you want and just run it.

I'm using version 12.1. I have try my method on 12.2 at my office pc and it is working fine.

metrofox · 04-18-2009, 07:26 AM

I think there's something we're forgetting, guys...Downgrading a thing is not a solution to the problem, it exists and you won't solve just downgrading to another version, I'd call it "escaping". So the problem is not solved, it's still here and still exists, now...Let's do some changes on our system to understand where the error could be, and waiting to the eclipse team...(Waiting and hoping, eh?)

I just installed eclipse with the build from SlackBuilds.org on a clean 12.2+patches
system and it worked fine. Maybe there is an old plugin/workspace/config file that is
causing the problem.

Has your eclipse C\C++ IDE support?
