Bug 140089 – eclipse-sdk-3.2 crashes with gecko-sdk-1.7.13

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description georg.lippold 2006-07-12 02:14:42 UTC]

If eclipse-sdk is emerged like this

USE="no-seamonkey" emerge eclipse-sdk-3.2

and gecko-sdk-1.7.13 and mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4 and mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.4 are installed, eclipse crashes when showing tooltips in the source (the small yellow carets with explainations hovering over the source when you hover with the mouse over a marked element, see attached screenshot).

The error message (in ~/hs_err_pid*.log) is attached, the message when executing eclipse-sdk in a console talks about an error in libwidget_gtk2.so.

Probably this is only a ld.so.conf issue, I think that eclipse is compiled against the libwidget_gtk2.so from either firefox or thunderbird, but the linker uses the one from gecko-sdk.

I resolved this bug by unmerging gecko-sdk, it is filed for your reference only.

Regards,

Georg

Well, we'll be removing gecko-sdk from portage, so... not much to fix here, perhaps the ebuild can block it for now?

Blocking gecko seems like the best way to go, as suggested by Jakub.

I'd also like to suggest that the eclipse-3.2 startup script be changed 
so that it does not look for /usr/lib/gecko-sdk/lib. Even when using 
seamonkey, having gecko-sdk installed will crash Eclipse.

This seems like a simple change that will prevent the crash, and allows me 
to have Eclipse-3.1 (which works with gecko-sdk) and Eclipse-3.2 installed
on the same system.

I had the same problem and removing the lines where MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is set to gecko/lib sovled that problem.

blocking seemed the wrong thing, when your script depends on gecko-sdk

[Comment 7 Federico Fissore 2006-10-27 11:40:08 UTC]

can you update to latest eclipse (3.2.1-r1) and report if the problem is still open?

[Comment 8 Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2007-01-06 17:59:46 UTC]

Please confirm with 3.2.1-r1 as has been requested.

[Comment 9 georg.lippold 2007-01-07 10:41:34 UTC]

unmerged gecko-sdk and am not able to test any more
