Hi all!

I tried to start Eclipse (linux-gtk 2.0 and linux-gtk 2.1) but it failed!
I only get the splash screen and the following console errors:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
home/user/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_2.1.0/os/linux /x86/libswt-pi-gtk-2133.so:
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream

Can anyone help please?

Thank you,
Andy

Hi!

It's me again. I now fetched an older version of the freetype6-library.
It seems that the problem is related to fonts.

Eclipse manages to start now, but there is a strange default font
and it crashes after 1 second leaving the splash screen on the
desktop... *hrmpf*

I get the error:

** ERROR **: file pangofc-fontmap.cI: line 407
(pango_fc_font_map_list_families): assertion failed: (res == FcResultMatch)
aborting...

andy ideas?

thx,
Andy

Are you using the minimal required version of GTK (2.0.6)? You might
get better visibility posting to eclipse.platform or eclipse.platform.swt.

I had the same problem (running a patched up Debian 'Woody') After
searching the Eclipse and Gnome Bugzilla archives I discovered that it
was caused by incompatible versions of Pango and Freetype (see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96308)

Looking through my installed packages, it looked like the packaging
system got confused somewhere and held onto old versions of fontconfig,
libfontconfig and libxft2. Once I'd manually sorted out the dependency
problems (think I ended up downgrading libfreetype6 and then applying
the updates individually) Eclipse started working again.

Hope This Helps!
Ian.
