Re: eclipse : JVM terminated Error 1

[William Garrison <linuxeclipse@mobydisk.com>]

I found this on the Oct-Dec archives.  I have the same problem.  My 
system is RH9 + kernel 2.6.1.

I am using the packages from http://people.redhat.com/~jhealy/eclipse/ 
as much as I can.  I needed some other dependencies resolved, so here is 
what I installed to get gcj-eclipse to install.  The ones marked with a 
* are directly from jhealy's page.

ctags-5.5.2-1.i386.rpm
ctags_5.4-2_i386.rpm
db4-4.1.25-0.rh73.3.1.i386.rpm
*libgcc-ssa-3.5ssa-0.20030801.39.i386.rpm
*libgcj-ssa-3.5ssa-0.20030801.39.i386.rpm
*libstdc++-ssa-3.5ssa-0.20030801.39.i386.rpm
*oprofile-0.5.4-12.i386.rpm
*snapshot-20030802-eclipse-2.1.0-12.i386.rpm

I first tried ctags 5.4 then found that 5.5 was the latest.  I had LOTS 
of trouble finding an RPM for libdb4 4.1.  4.0 was no problem, but 
eclipse said it needed 4.1.  The one I found was a RH7.3 update (????) 
but it is the only one I could find.  I suspect that if there is a 
package problem, that this is it.  But somehow, this seems like more 
than a simple package problem.

The specific behavior of eclipse is this:
1) run eclipse (tried icon and command-line)
2) eclipse displays a splash screen
3) splash-screen vanishes
4) splash-screen re-appears
5) error message says:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/lib/eclipse/gcjlauncher
-cp /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-showsplash /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -showsplash 600
6) I click "close" on the error message
7) The splash-screen remains
8) I wait a few minutes, then decide to kill the eclipse process that is 
displaying the splash-screen.  No HD activity is going on so I know it 
isn't doing anything.
9) After exit, I see that an empty workspace directory is created.  It 
is the current directory that I launched eclipse from, not in ~/workspace.

I tried running as a user, and as root.
