Undefined libswt-mozilla-gtk symbol: NS_StringContainerInit2
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:39 EST
Description of problem: When I run rssowl I get the following error: java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3232.so: undefined symbol: NS_StringContainerInit2 I'm pretty sure this rawhide system is up to date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Uninstalling Mozilla-1.7.13 helped me with a similar problem. Eclipse won't start on current Fedora-development, x86-64. $ eclipse /usr/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/share/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/36/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3232.so: undefined symbol: NS_StringContainerInit2 I was also getting a GUI message box with the following text: JVM terminated. Exit code=127 /usr/bin/java -jar startup.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -launcher /usr/bin/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600 -exitdata 290002 -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -jar startup.jar mozilla-1.7.13-1.1.fc5.x86_64 and firefox-1.5.0.5-8.x86_64 were both installed. Uninstalling mozilla fixed the problem. The mozilla package is not in the yum repository, so it's obsolete. Still, mere presence of mozilla should not be breaking eclipse.
(In reply to comment #1) > Uninstalling Mozilla-1.7.13 helped me with a similar problem. Thanks for the tip. Removing mozilla fixed this for me as well, although now I need to update the rssowl startup script to refer to firefox's libxpcom.so.
I just came across a similar JVM crash while trying to start Eclipse on a newly-installed Fedora Core 6 RC2 system. The difference in my case is that mozilla was never installed -- mozilla doesn't even seem to be in the Core 6 distribution at all -- so I can't very well remove it. Here are the errors I'm getting. From the console: /usr/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/share/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/36/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3232.so: undefined symbol: NS_InitEmbedding And from the GUI: JVM terminated. Exit code=127 /usr/bin/java -jar startup.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -launcher /usr/bin/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600 -exitdata 22000d -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -jar startup.jar The .so file causing the error comes from the package libswt3-gtk2.
(In reply to comment #3) > /usr/share/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/36/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3232.so: > undefined symbol: NS_InitEmbedding This should be fixed in 3.2.0-6.fc6.
Anthony, can you verify this is fixed?
