[SOLVED] Slackware 14.1 64

glupa4e · 04-12-2014, 06:36 AM

Hello,

i have installed the eclipse package from slackbuilds.org - http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...pment/eclipse/ . i have java installed. Other applications requiring java (such as openoffice/libreoffice) are working. Here are some details.
When i start Eclipse from KDE i get the error:

Code:

The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its 
companion shared library.

When i start it from the command line, i get:

Code:

bash-4.2$ eclipse
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

installed java version:

Code:

bash-4.2$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

Eclipse executable:

Code:

bash-4.2$ which eclipse
/usr/bin/eclipse

eclipse.ini file is located under /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini. Its contents is as follows:

Code:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

$JAVA_HOME

Code:

bash-4.2$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib64/java

I think it used to work before. Last thing i was struggling to get running was calibre.

Any idea what could have broken the Eclipse installation?

Thank you!

After you installed JDK did you reboot. you will need to so all the libraries get loaded correct.
if so wonder why that plugin is not there.

I figure you already did this right.

Quote:

Upgrading: if you find an error during Eclipse initialization, check
this two files:

/opt/eclipse/configuration/config.ini
/opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini

If you haven't done modifications in those files, overwrite them with
config.ini.new and eclipse.ini.new.

Hello,

as it seems i had forgotten to install jdk but i thought Eclipse could run only with jre. Anyway i did the following- i installed the openjdk slackbuild that is available from Alien Bob - http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...dk/pkg64/14.1/

After that installation i rebooted. I am still getting the same errors when trying to start eclipse from command line or KDE. Here are some details again:

/opt/eclipse/configuration/config.ini

Code:

i do not know if i need to make any changes in those two files. Further details:

Code:

bash-4.2$ which java
/usr/lib64/java/bin/java

Code:

bash-4.2$ echo $JAVA_HOME

I noticed that some file is missing - there is no file

Code:

org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416

under

Code:

/opt/eclipse/plugins

but that file is configured in /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini

Any idea how to fix that?

glupa4e · 04-12-2014, 07:33 AM

Trying to start Eclipse as a root user gives some more information:

Code:

# eclipse 
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
No protocol specified
Eclipse: Cannot open display: 
Eclipse:
The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its 
companion shared library.

But howcome could this file be missing?

glupa4e · 04-12-2014, 07:59 AM

Hello,

i figured out that there is something wrong in the eclipse.ini file:
it was configured:

Code:

--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416

but i did not have such file. i had the following instead:

Code:

/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835

So i replaced the originally configured file with the one i had. Now my /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini looks as this:

Code:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

i rebooted the machine after i had made the changes. Now when i try to start eclipse, it gives an error that i should look in the log. Here is the log:

I just built that with openjdk from Alien Bob's repo and it runs fine. used slackbuild to do it.

Hello Drakeo,
as far as i can understand from your post, you have installed openjdk from Alien Bob's repository and then you have installed Eclipse package from slackbuilds.org? Is that right?

Thanks!

glupa4e · 04-13-2014, 12:58 AM

Hello,
here is what i did. I removed Eclipse and installed it again. I already had installed openjdk from Alien Bob's repository. I am using the eclipse.ini file that Drakeo has provided. i just replaced my old one with the one he had provided. Now i am getting this error when starting eclipse:

Code:

Hello,
i searched a little bit in Internet. I found this post useful. i just had to replace the proper files in /opt/eclipse/configuration/config.ini. i just set it to match the files that i have under the plugins directory.
original config.ini:

Code:

#This configuration file was written by: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.frameworkadmin.equinox.EquinoxFwConfigFileParser
#Wed Jun 05 22:18:38 EDT 2013
org.eclipse.update.reconcile=false
eclipse.p2.profile=SDKProfile
osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/workspace
osgi.framework=file\:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.0.v20130529-1710.jar
equinox.use.ds=true
eclipse.buildId=4.3.0.I20130605-2000
osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.400.v20130327-2119.jar@1\:start
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=true
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl=file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide
osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform
osgi.framework.extensions=
eclipse.p2.data.area=@config.dir/../p2
eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=4

modified config.ini

Code:

#This configuration file was written by: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.frameworkadmin.equinox.EquinoxFwConfigFileParser
#Wed Jun 05 22:18:38 EDT 2013
org.eclipse.update.reconcile=false
eclipse.p2.profile=SDKProfile
osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/workspace
osgi.framework=file\:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20130814-1242.jar
equinox.use.ds=true
eclipse.buildId=4.3.0.I20130605-2000
osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.400.v20130327-2119.jar@1\:start

eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide
osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform
osgi.framework.extensions=
eclipse.p2.data.area=@config.dir/../p2
eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=4

the only row i had to update was:

Code:

osgi.framework=file\:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20130814-1242.jar

this is version specific.
thank you, marking this thread as solved.
