Error in loading eclipse in Fedora12

[vijithak]

Hi All,

I'm having a issue related to running Eclipse(galileo) in Fedora 12 (It was a terrible experience installing FC-12, took around 6 hours, and it requires internet connection and at least one repository selected, even the DVD contains everything. There were no way of eliminating it?).
I'm getting the error

cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

I think this is related to SELinux config. But fix it to some extent by using "execstack" for some files but then getting a error with HPI library.

There was an error trying to initialize the HPI library.

Is there a workaround for this or for hole thing regards to eclipse?
BTW, Java is working fine (SUNs).

Thanks,

Sure there is a way to eliminate the networking: cut off the network cable! (Of course, pulling it out of your machine is sufficient. )

You can always turn the whole SELinux feature off:
setenforce 0
As my experience goes, if there is a problem with SELinux set-up, there is an update of SELinux-policy package that solves the problems.

BTW, Java is working fine (SUNs).

I'm not sure about Eclipse would use Java from Sun though...

Hi,

Nope, Have you tried it? That didn't work, throughout the installation it used the network (not sure whether it download everything or not but it does use the network) .

I'll have to try that...

What ever we set to use it will

Of course I've installed earlier versions without network... How could an installation use a network if it's physically not available? Perhaps you are referring something else as to

used the network

? What exactly does it?

I was pointing out that Fedora Eclipse is a native Linux application, so it shouldn't use any Java VM during the start-up.

That is repositories. Yes in previous versions you could eliminate the network configuration in the installation but in fc12 It should be present in order to proceed.

Ok, It isn't Fedora Eclipse I'm using

Oops! You shouldn't do that... Now you've got it!


Sooo, does disabling the SELinux feature solve your problem?

in fc12 It should be present in order to proceed.

Sorry, I just can't believe that. Is there an installation step that explicitly tells you that you must have network plugged-in?
The official guide doesn't seem to differ from the older versions in this... In case you don't know, especially interesting is the part 6.6.*Installing from a Hard Drive. I know the installation from CD/DVD media is quite a time killer due to the sequential reading mechanism. If I remember correctly, an installation of earlier Fedora OS took me nearly 6 hours as well. That surely might one believe in networking issues...

Is there an installation step that explicitly tells you that you must have network plugged-in?

Yes, before the package selection we should configure the valid internet connection ( with DHCP/static), otherwise It'll terminate the installation. With Fedora 9 It doesn't use it at all, it took less than an hour for me in the past.

[Lost_scrib]

Uughh! That looks bad! Maybe setting manually 121.0.0.0 instead of DHCP would fool the installer... Looks like I'm sticking to Fedora 11 for a while...

[vijithak]

I solved this by editing "/etc/selinux/config" but wonder is there any workaround just for eclipse only not a system wide config?

[Lost_scrib]

Package selinux-policy handles approved application specific permissions. Also application packages may add their specific rules - If you had official Fedora Eclipse installed, you would have no selinux troubles.
I told you when you confessed that you have your custom Eclipse build: You shouldn't do that...
