Public bug reported: Probably a SWT problem, or some dependency.
My machine, a edgy/amd64 is freshly installed. After some trying I notice the same problem happens in Azureus, another swt user. I tried running it with strace, but couldn't find anything obviously wrong (like a missing library) I'm using: $ java -version java version "1.5.0_08" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode) And the exception was: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: memmove at org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.memmove(Native Method) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:67) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:54) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Display.java:126) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createDisplay(Workbench.java:433) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createDisplay(PlatformUI.java:161) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.createDisplay(IDEApplication.java:122) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.run(IDEApplication.java:75) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.PlatformActivator$1.run(PlatformActivator.java:78) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:92) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:68) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:400) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:177) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:336) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:280) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:977) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:952) Also, I couldn't find any answers in the internet, although I noted the problem being reported, as well as some paste bins with the same error message. Thanks, and let me know if I can help in anything. ** Affects: eclipse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- won't start: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: memmove https://launchpad.net/bugs/73566 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
