Hi All,
I have installed sun-java6 and eciipse-ide in my ubuntu server 10.10. My java is running fine but while running eclipse, i got segmentation error. I had googlled lots of times but the answers are not good to resolve the error. Can anyone suggest me to resolve this error. Below i have pasted the result...

Ubuntu server, really? You should be using Ubuntu desktop which has a
desktop (GNOME/KDE/whatever). Unless you go to some trouble to install
all of that on server, it doesn't come with the capacity to run GUI apps.

Just because you installed Sun/Oracle Java doesn't necessarily mean that
it's actually being used. Some of the Linux distros are notorious for
putting gcj at the front of the path and "forcing" it to be used. To be
sure you're running Eclipse in the official JDK, you should specify it
in the eclipse.ini file, as described in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Also, how did you install Eclipse? You should always download it
directly from www.eclipse.org rather than rely on what is provided by
any of the linux package managers (apt, rpm, etc).

Hello Eric,
I have downloaded the file eclipse-php-helious-linux-gtk.tar.gz from eclipse website and extarcted it. I ahd followed the steps given in the link www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-eclipse-java-ide/, then i installed eclipse and eclipse-jdt using sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-jdt. Upto this step all are fine but while running the eclipse, i got that segmentation fault error. I had stuckked in this for morethan a week and can you suggest me the right direction.Also my java is working fine.

Thanks

As I said, don't use Eclipse that is installed with a package manager
like apt. Delete that and just use the Eclipse that you extracted from
the Eclipse web site.

Hai Eric,
Thank you for suggesting me. Can you tell how to install the extracted file eclipse-php-helious-linux-gtk.tar.gz, after extraction it becmes a directory called eclipse.

~/usr/local/opt$ ls
eclipse eclipse-php-helious-linux-gtk.tar.gz

~/usr/local/opt/eclipse$ ls
about_files; artifacts.xml; dropins; eclipse.ini; features; libcairo-swt.so; p2 readme; about.html; configuration; eclipse; epl-v10.html; icon.xml; notice.html; plugins

I have googlled and get these commands to install extracted file such as ./configure, make and make install but when i giving this commands also i got error like this

~/usr/local/opt/eclipse$ ./configre
-bash: ./configure; No such file or directory

~/usr/local/opt/eclipse$ make
make: ***No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

~/usr/local/opt/eclipse$ make install
make: ***No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

Is there any mistake i did? If so pls let me know.

Thanks

Just as for Windows, Eclipse isn't "installed" in any formal sense. You
explode the archive (what you've done) and consume it from where you
exploded it. You can move it from where you exploded it to wherever in
the file system you want. I keep my copy on the path
/home/russ/dev/eclipse. In GNOME, if you're running it, you can create a
launcher and pin its icon to your top panel or create the launcher on
the desktop. Or you can put it into an existing menu such as
Applications -> Programming.

In that directory you'll find an executable named "eclipse"
Just run that. If it doesn't already have the execute permission, you'll
have to chmod it to make it executable.

Hello Eric,
Thanks again. Already, i had extracted that .tar.gz file and also the directory named 'eclipse' has been created automatically after extraction but while running that extracted directory 'eclipse' using commands such as ./eclipse and eclipse &. I got segmentation fault error as i posted above. Is there any problem with owner and group permissions. Below i have pasted the result..

~/usr/local/opt$ ls -l
total 290652
drwxrwsr-x 9 libuuid users 4096 2010-06-17 21:46 eclipse
-rw-r--r-- 1 sam-osm sam-osm 149897197 2011-05-14 14:40 eclipse-php-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz

In the above result, the eclipse directory have owner as libuuid and group as users but the .tar.gz file has owner as sam-osm and also group as sam-osm. Should i change the owner and group name. Is this the only cause for the segmentation fault error.

Thanks

You indicated early on that you are running Ubuntu Server. As far as I know Ubuntu Server doesn't include the X server or desktop environment to run graphical applications. You need to have these in order to run Eclipse. You need to install Ubuntu Desktop in order to get the required components to run graphical applications. Until you can startup up an X server, you will not be able to run Eclipse.

The problem is that the Xserver is not set up. I used Xming to run the Xserver and putty to connect to the host.

If I don't run Xlaunch from the Xming, I would get the same error. The problem is that the host did not get the necessary permission. When I run Xserver setup, everything clears up. HOpe that helps.
