installation error on Mandriva 2007.0

After downloading and running marvinbeans-4_1_2-linux.sh the following message occurs:





./marvinbeans-4_1_2-linux.sh


testing JVM in /usr ...


Starting Installer ...


./marvinbeans-4_1_2-linux.sh: line 297: 6175 Segmentation fault "$app_java_home/bin/java" -Dinstall4j.jvmDir="$app_java_home" -Dinstall4j.appDir="$app_home" -Dexe4j.moduleName="$prg_dir/$prg" -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true $INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS -classpath "$local_classpath" com.install4j.runtime.Launcher launch com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer false false "" "" false true false "" true true 0 0 "" 20 20 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 "version %4.1.2%" 20 40 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 -1 "$@"








What can be a reason for it?


Thank you

Is Java installed to your machine? If yes, is it in the PATH?


Please see the following topic. It describes how you can put Java into the PATH if it is not there.

Or probably the Java version is wrong. Marvin requires Sun's Java 1.3.1 or higher version. The installer might try to use a Mandriva boundled Java that is not compatible with Sun's one.


Retrieve the Java version from the system:

Code:

java -version

You should see something like that:

Code:

Java(TM)2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (built 1.4.2_08-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) CLient VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)

Thank you for the reply, Tamas





On my machine I installed Java Development Kit 6 Release candidate. When typing java -version it gives me the following reply:


java version "1.4.2"


JamVM version 1.4.3

Java is included in PATH variable - its bin directory is listed when typing echo $PATH








Is it possible that this Java version is not compatible with Marvin 4.1.12?

It is possible. We have not tested yet this release.


I suggest to use any 1.5.x or 1.4.2 version.

Or use the platform independent version of Marvin Beans (marvinbeans-4_1_2.zip).


It does not include installer, just the zip version of the package.


Unzip somewhere and use scripts in the bin directory.

I've changed to Java 5.0 Development Kit Update 9. It works with other applications (e.g ant), but gives the same error "segmentation fault" error when trying ./marvinbeans-4_1_2-linux.sh.





I also tried to use platform independent marvinbeans-4_1_2.zip. After unpacking it, changing permisions to be executable, cd to the bin directory and typing ./msketch the following error occurs:





Segmentation fault

Try run Marvin Beans from command line:

Code:

java -classpath lib/MarvinBeans.jar chemaxon.marvin.Sketch

Is this work for you? If yes, the problem may be at evaluation of the shell script ("msketch").

Hi,





java -classpath lib/MarvinBeans.jar chemaxon.marvin.Sketch seems also not to be working. It generates the same error:





Segmentation fault





Maybe java is not working properly?


Is there any way to check it?

It seems that it is the problem with java. It gives the same error for other jar-files.

It can be a configuration problem. Probably there can be confilct with some packages.


I've downloaded and installed "jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin" and "jdk-6-rc-linux-i586.bin". I've tried Marvin with both Java versions. Both of them worked fine.


In Sun's download center, prefer the "linux-self-extracting" version incontrary of "rpm package". Probably, it helps.


Me and several colleages works on Linux. But we have never problem with Java under any distribution. Currently we use following distributions: Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, Debian, Freespire, Arch linux.

Hi,





It works!!! The problem was in following:


in /usr/bin there was a symbolic link java, which pointed at the end on the file of not-Sun Java Virtual Machine--the application distributed with Mandriva. That is why when typing java -version it gives something like "java 1.4.3 JVM 1.4". After deleting and uninstalling everything connected to not-Sun Java, installing jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin the reply to java -version was the following:





Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)


Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode, sharing)





Then the ./marvinbeans-4_1_2-linux.sh run without any problems.





Thank you for the support.





Best regards

I am glad that you managed to set it.


When I configure a Linux distro, removing OS bundled Java is the first step to me after installation. Then I install one from Sun.
