I tried reinstalling both JDK and Netbeans to no avail.

Seems a silly question, but have you got libX11.so.6 installed and does it have a symbol _XRead?

With java inside a VM, you're not going to get much help unless you give concise details.

well I have libX11 installed and the file libX11.so.6 is in /usr/lib so yes.

that part I don't really get.. could you tell me how to check it?

Run these commands:

slocate -u or updatedb (takes a while)
locate libX11.so.6
If it is found, make

also worth looking at the output of
cat /etc/ld.so.conf

to see that the directory containing libX11.so.6 is listed. Otherwise add it & run ldconfig.

ok, did all of that. no changes so far

1.6.0_24-b07 works with Netbeans on my Slackware64 13.1 system.

may I ask which version of Xorg are you using? also which netbeans version you are using, where did you get it from and how did you install it? which version is your libX11.so.6 linking to?

also to correct a little mistake: my libX11.so.6 is actually a link to libX11.so.6.3.0

last edit: after copying the libX11.so.6 symlink out of the dir, fiddling around a bit with the previous versions and copying back made it work..

I take this to mean it is still failing to compile? No changes doesn't say much. If you did what I suggested, there would have been changes all right. Where is that lib?

Try ls -l /path/to/libX11.so.6. Is the symlink a good one? Does the file exist? How big is it?

well right now it is a 1.2MB healthy symlink, both the target file and the link exist. and just for the fact - I wasn't trying to compile but start Netbeans.

NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 (Build 201011082200)

I got it from www.netbeans.org and installed it in my $HOME directory.

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2010-05-29 17:38 /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.3.0*

Could be a access rights problem.

Uninstall netbeans and reinstall as root and place it in an appropriate directory in the root /. This means installing as root.

I think it defaults to /usr/local. I also install my jdk in the same directory. Don't forget to set java home and jre home. I removed the generic jre that came with slackware before installing the latest jdk and set the jre to the one that comes with the jdk.
