Re: [udig-users] unable to start uDig 
Jesse and Jody,
I think the problem arises in my particulat situation because I have xulrunner v. 1.9 installed (which should work ok with Eclipse 3.4), but from what I understand from the Running uDig page, uDig uses Eclipse 3.3. See these links: 

http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Running+uDig#RunninguDig-Fedora10XULRunnerLibraryConflict
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Running+uDig#RunninguDig-AbouttheInternalBrowser
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux
So regarding detection in a launch script, perhaps one could test for the presence of xulrunner and specifically xulrunner 1.9. 

Thanks to all for your help with this issue.

Bill

Finished up the thread and I see it is resolved. That is great news. An odd issue. I wonder if there is any way to detect this case in the launch script.

Maybe try with -debug that might give a bit more information.
Also try verifying you have the correct build of uDig for your machine. Usually uDig 32 bit will run on a 64 bit machine. However I have seen similar problems to this when 32 application try linking up with 64 bit libraries. It is possible (although surprising) that this could be happening. 

Try downloading eclipse perhaps you will get a hint from running that.

Jesse and Andrea,

Thanks for your responses.  I still have a problem.
Yes, I was trying to run it via the shell script. I just now tried to run the private-bin executable directly and I get exactly the same result. I don't understand why the program is looking for anything in /usr/libexec/udig.
I have also tried forcing udig to use the supplied jre with the -vm argument as suggested on one of the udig developer web pages. That also gives the same result along with the following additional message in the terminal: 

# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:

/usr/libexec/uDig: No such file or directory.
I think the clue here is the libxul.so library which is part of xulrunner that Gecko apps use (including Firefox on Fedora 10). I wonder if your Ubuntu installations have the xulrunner libs installed.
Looking at the last two entries in the .log file that I sent in my original message, I wonder if the "Unable to find Action Set: ..." is a key to the problem. 

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks for your help.

First of all don't run the executable run the shell script. Otherwise... Very odd that it would be looking in libexec. Try out the udig shell script and make sure that works. Just for test purposes you can try the private-bin executable and see if that makes a difference. I run this version of uDig regularly on Ubuntu with about 4 different JVMs installed and it has been working fine for me.

I have downloaded uDig 1.1.1 and I have unzipped it in my home directory. When I run the executable, the uDig splash screen opens and reports that it is loading the workbench, etc., but then crashes before the main uDig window opens. I am attaching the log from uDigWorkspace/.metadata/.log
Also, a line in the terminal window from which I tried to start uDig reports the following upon crashing: 

/usr/libexec/uDig: No such file or directory.
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Why is it looking for something in the /usr/libexec/uDig directory? 

Thanks for your help.
