Eclipse 3.0 crashing on AIX [message #257306] Thu, 01 July 2004 00:48 Go to next message

Is anyone else encountering a signal 4 (SIGILL) when running Eclipse 3.0
on AIX (5.1)?

Eclipse 2.1 runs fine and version 3.0 worked for a few hours but after
shutting down and restarting the program now crashes within about 10
seconds of loading. If I simply start Eclipse and wait a moment, without
triggering any actions, it will core dump with a signal 4.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the splash screen Eclipse logo is
*green* on AIX? When I run Eclipse 3.0 on Windows I get the familiar
purple/black logo but on AIX it's green/blue. I'm curious to know if that
is an intentional difference.

Thanks,
-B. Townsend

What is the error you're getting? And do you have the patches listed in
http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0-2004062512 08/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.0-aix-motif.zip
installed on your box? If so then you should log a bug report with
Platform - SWT and include the dump file.

The green splash screen is not intentional. Your AIX box is probably only
set up for 8-bit colour, which is its default support.

Grant,

Thanks for your reply. I have the patches listed at the provided link
installed so I will gladly submit a bug report with the included dump
files.

Regarding the link that lists patches: It states that "You can run Eclipse
using the VM from IBM Developer Kit for AIX versions
1.3.0, 1.3.1, and 1.4.0." I was previously running the IBM VM version
1.4.0 with Eclipse 2.1.3 and it worked wonderfully. But, upon installing
version 3.0, a dialog box appeared indicating that I _must_ install Java
1.4.1 to run Eclipse 3.0. Again, I all got was the Eclipse splash screen
and then this message. I'm wondering then if it is the download page that
is out of date or if the Eclipse AIX 3.0 build is checking for the wrong
version, or if there is another reason for this contradiction.

Second, I don't think the problem with the splash screen is related to the
color depth of my display. This is because:
1) Eclipse v2.1.3 displays the correctly colored purple logo
2) If I overwrite my Eclipse 3.0 splash.bmp with the splash.bmp provided
with Eclipse 2.1.3, the 2.1 logo also appears green.
In other words, it is not the image file but Eclipse itself which is
displaying the image incorrectly. Have you perhaps changed to a different
bmp loader with version 3.0?

Best regards,
-Brad Townsend

Hi Brad,

If the download page is indicating that a vm < 1.4.1 is adequate then it's
out of date (for running eclipse anways). Eclipse 3.0 requires a vm >=
1.4.1 on all platforms.

Please log a separate bug report for the wrong splash screen colour in 3.0.
I'm not sure what's changed in this area, but if it used to work then this
should be looked at.

Grant
