[Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Hi,

Eclipse crashes when ever I try to open a file or otherwise access the file dialog. It prints this error to the terminal:

/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-ico.so: undefined symbol: gdk_pixbuf_gettext

Does anybody have an ideas about how to fix this?

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Sorry to bump this so soon but this is a show-stopping bug for me. Does anyone have any clue at all about this?

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Is this Eclipse installed from the repos? If so, you should file a bug. If not, then did it previously work for you? You are not providing nearly enough information for anyone to help.

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Yep I installed it from the repos on a new install of arch. I'm using gnome 3 and oracle java. *EDIT* I've also added py-dev by using the AUR.

Sorry if I'm still not posting enough information but I'm not really sure what information is relevant.

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Eclipse SDK

Version: 3.7.0
Build id: I20110613-1736

Running stand alone compiz
Works dandy.

Could you verify your version, and perhaps the output of pacman -Qm  ??

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Ok, the file versions of Eclipse and some possibly relevant dependecies:

Eclipse 3.7-1

gdk2 2.24.5-3
jdk 7-3
jre 7-3
xulrunner 6.0-2

"pacman -Qm eclipse" didn't produce anything was that a typo? Output of pacman -Qi eclipse gave this:

Name           : eclipse
Version        : 3.7-1
URL            : http://eclipse.org
Licences       : EPL/1.1
Groups         : None
Provides       : None
Depends On     : java-environment  gtk2  unzip  xulrunner
Optional Deps  : None
Required By    : eclipse-pydev
Conflicts With : None
Replaces       : None
Installed Size : 198416.00 K
Packager       : Paul Mattal <paul@archlinux.org>

Yes, no "eclipse" -- just pacman -Qm .  It will tell us the name of all "foreign" packages that have been installed (read: stuff installed from ABS).  These packages are the ones that are likely to break things.

Do you / Have you installed things outside of Pacman?  (i.e. things like sudo make install )

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Also, any chance if backing down from Java 7?  I understand it has caused issues; issues to the point that Oracle had backed off of recommending it for general release.

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

Ahh I see. Pacman -Qm gives this:

eclipse-pydev 2.2.2-1
esound 0.2.41-2
jdk 7-3
jre 7-3
sharpfonts 1-4
ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-8
xampp 1.7.4-1

Hmm, because of this oracle java isn't in the repos anymore so I decided it'd be easier just to uninstall it for now and install openjdk6. I'm still getting the same problem though. Oh, and the output of pacman -Qm is the same as above but without the jdk and jre.

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

I need to pack it in for the night, so I'll pick this up in the morning [GMT-7].

What environments do you have installed (besides Gnome 3)?  Openbox, Xfce4, KDE ??
Take a look through the output of pacman -Qk | grep -v "0 missing" | grep -v denied and see if there are any files missing from anything that look important.
Lastly,  Is your system fully up to date?  (i.e. you have recently performed a pacman -Syu   ) ??

Re: [Solved] Eclipse open file crash

I don't think pacman -Qk | grep -v "0 missing" | grep -v denied showed anything relevant. Here's the output:

polkit: 183 total files, 11 missing files
xampp: 9201 total files, 121 missing files

I don't have any other desktop environments other than gnome 3/gnome shell. I do have kdelibs (4.7.0-1) and phonon (4.5.55-1) installed though.

And my system is up to date.

I think I'll file a bug report and see how that goes. Thanks for the help!

Ahh, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25458 is a bug with the same cause. Looks like it's an upstream problem. I downloaded an old version and it works fine.
