This sounds like a java issue, probably a variation of http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/Publican/chap-Users_Guide-Frequently_Asked_Questions.html#id2806887 Can you run the checks there and see if it's the same problem? Cheers, Jeff. Did the alternatives thing, yes they were different. Selected the older java which made them the same, nothing changed. Need a reboot maybe? (In reply to comment #2) > Did the alternatives thing, yes they were different. Selected the older java > which made them the same, nothing changed. Need a reboot maybe? You shouldn't need to reboot. Do you have openjdk? If so, can you try setting java and javac to that? If not, can you include the details of the java and javac you are using? Cheers, Jeff. Sorry for the delay, out of town today. [root@Aidan ~]# alternatives --config java There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- * 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java + 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: [root@Aidan ~]# alternatives --config javac There is 1 program that provides 'javac'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/bin/javac Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: [root@Aidan ~]# Hi John, I see what is happening now. AIUI: 1: FOP requires a "real" java and will not run on gcj 2: FOP checks for an SDK when it forks off process' 3: FOP does not check to see if the SDK matches the JRE it was run on 4: FOP goes boom if the JRE and SDK aren't compatible FOP doesn't require an SDK, it will run happily without it, but if you have any SDK installed you must also install the SDK for the current JRE, else FOP will use the SDK for the other java, and this is likely to cause seg faults. You must also ensure that alternatives match. The work around here is to install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel and then use alternatives to set java and javac to openjdk. I'm moving this to the FOP component, FOP should do one or more of the following: 1: not switch from JRE to SDK 2: have an option to enable/disable switching from JRE to SDK 3: validate the SDK is compatible with the JRE being used Personally I'd go for number one. Switching from JRE to SDK halfway through an process seems questionable. If I want to run something one the SDK I'll make that decision when I'm running the original command. Cheers, Jeff. *** Bug 478938 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This behaviour also happens on F13.
