[SOLVED] slack64 - v13.37 , error opening eclipse? possible bug in $PATH for jre

nass · 08-24-2012, 12:13 PM

hello everyone,
I am setting up a development environment in a slack64 box and added quite a few SBo packages (a list is appended).

I tried running eclipse but it wouldn't run giving an error

Quote:

JVM terminated. Exit code=2

searching for this error (and finding only threads about all other possible exit code numbers) seems to lead to the conclusion that the most usual problem is difference in architecture between eclipse and Java. As such I checked

Quote:

java -version

which would return 'no such file or directory even though the file was there in the filesystem.

indeed

Quote:

which java

revealed that the executable that is referred to is the 32-bit one:

Quote:

nass@starcode:~$ which java
/usr/lib/java/bin/java

nass@starcode:~$ file /usr/lib/java/bin/java
/usr/lib/java/bin/java: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

nass@starcode:~$

going one step further, the $PATH refers first the 32-bit /usr/lib and then the 64-bit /usr/lib64 one.

this is probably due to some of the SBo packages tampering with the the $PATH variable and adding the 32-bit paths as well (or at least prepending them to lib64 java)...
and the guilty script is /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh which prepends to $PATH the /usr/lib/java

since I have other slack64-v13.37 (non devel oriented) boxes without this problem, i assume it is a problem of the jdk package found in extra/. or is it..

should I change the /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh ? disable its execution or it will break other things?

Thank you for your help.

PS:the SBo packages I have installed are the following:

I am more interested in the output of :

Code:

ls -la /var/log/packages/jre*
ls -la /var/log/packages/jdk*

This link discusses the problem in 2004 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105950

Claimed to be fixed (with certain compile flags?) in slocate-2.7-8

You have installed 32-bit jdk-6u25-i586-1. Try this one:
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...7/extra/jdk-6/

Also, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have both jre and jdk installed on one machine.

Alien Bob · 08-24-2012, 07:36 PM

Only install one of the two (jre or jdk) at all times. Considering you want to use Eclipse, you certainly need to have the JDK package.
Never install a 32-bit package on a 64-bit system. If you are using a multilib Slackware then still, you need to be careful about that kind of things.

You probably installed that 32-bit JRE knowingly. What did you hope it would fix for you?

nass · 08-27-2012, 03:10 AM

hmm, 32bit on a clean (no multilib) 64bit machine?
I wouldn't do it on purpose.. my guess is i accidentally nfs-mounted the slackware-13.37 folder on this fresh install, rather than the slackware64-13.37 folder. there goes the error on my part. Probably some late night screw up.

Thank you for your help both.
