Eclipse...

Hi,

 

I can't seem to get Eclipse running on Mandrake 9. I have tried using both jdk1.3 and jdk1.4. I have tried using the latest release, and the latest stable build. I always get this error:

 

[kevin@localhost kevin]$ ./run_eclipse.sh

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_2.0.1/os/linux/x86/libswt-pi-gtk-2049.so: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream

These are the versions of pango I have installed:

 

[kevin@localhost kevin]$ rpm -qa | grep pango

pango-1.0.4-1mdk

libpango1.0_0-devel-1.0.4-1mdk

libpango1.0_0-1.0.4-1mdk

 

Doing a search on google did not show anything. It appears there is a missing symbol in pango that is not on my machine.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

First questions first: What java implementation are you using - sun, ibm, etc? (Personally, I would use the sun jdk)

 

Second: Is java - both the jdk and jre - properly setup on your computer? This means that your JAVA_HOME variable is properly setup. To test this, open a console and type echo $JAVA_HOME and it should tell you the directory that the jdk is in.

 

I have Eclipse running on my computer - Red Hat 7.3 - without any problems. However, the first two things must be properly setup in order for it to run.

I have tried it with Sun 1.3 and 1.4. I have them installed in /usr/jdk1.3.1 and /usr/j2sdk1.4.0_02. I then created a symlink called /usr/java, which can point to either.

 

Then I started eclipse like this: /opt/eclipse/eclipse -vm /usr/java/bin/java -ws gtk -data $HOME/eclipse

 

Using either flavor of java did not make a difference. I have not tried IBM java yet. I did a 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java', and then ran the above command line, and I still got the crash.

This problem is unrelated to Java but libpango and probably also freetype.

 

I had the same problem recently after installing a custom-made freetype package (Texstar distribution). At the moment I have official (lib)pango 1.0.5, freetype 2.1.2 and Eclipse works again. Try it.
