[Paul]

I just got a new machine, and installed debian/testing on it. Everything seemed to be working okay, and I then put eclipse on it. That was fine as well, so I then downloaded MyEclipse 2.7RC2 (I’ve been using 2.6 on my old box w/o issue). At the end of installation of MyEclipse, and message pops up that states:

The installation of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench v2.7-RC2 is complete, but some errors occured during the install.”

I check the log file inside of the MyEclipse directory, and it states:

Installation: Successfull with errors.

1779 SUCCESSES
0 WARNINGS
1 NONFATAL ERRORS
0 FATAL ERRORS

Scrolling to the bottom of that file, I finally see….

Install Action: RPMSpecFile
Status: ERROR

Additional Notes: ERROR – There was a problem creating the RPM package. You may not be running as root or may not have installed RPM Builder correctly. ERROR – java.lang.NullPointerException

I started Eclipse despite this, and there is no indication that MyEclipse was installed. If I click on the Help menu, the MyEclipse logo does appear, but that is it. There is no mention or option to conifigure or use MyEclipse from the Window-Preferences menu.

My setup is:
OS: Debian, testing – a new install
Eclipse Version: 2.1.2
Build id: 200311030802
Eclipse was just freshly installed (about four times now….).
No other plugins
Attempting to install MyEclipse 2.7RC2
Java 1.4.2_03, build 1.4.2_03-b02

…….. and it continues ………..

When I first looked at the above log file, the errors seemed to indicate it could not find the registered myeclipse plugins.

Anyhow, I’d appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank You, Paul

Paul,
We had a heck of a time running this problem down with a SuSE user. It turns out that InstallAnywhere NEEDS rpmbuild in your path, and setting a sym link doesn’t cut it either. The gentleman in question ended up installing the rpm binaries and then the installer worked fine.

[Paul]

Okay, I’ve got rpmbuild installed and in my path. I tried the install, it still came back with the exact same issue. I rebooted, tried again, same thing. Is there anything besides the file ‘rpmbuild’ that has to be present that you know of? This was present in an RPM library, so I’m assuming it should have everything required.

Thanks for your quick reply,

Paul

[Riyad Kalla]

Hmm, try running the installer with LAX_DEBUG=1 (or LAX_DEBUG=true) so we can see all of its output. Its hard to say right now.

Note, if exporting LAX_DEBUG=1 first, then running the installer doesn’t work, try doing it all on the same line (export LAX_DEBUG=1 <installer executable>). We have had users report success with one and not the other, while others have success with the opposite combination.

[Paul]

I was antsy, read the last users (Suse) you had talked about earlier, and just ran the installer after setting LAX_DEBUG=1. The output looks a bit different than the prior users problem – his was I believe the utility not being found. Mine appears to be permission related. If I read this right, it’s trying to write to /usr/src/rpm/SRPMS, which is setup for only root to write to.

Last little question, though I’m getting ahead of myself probably. What’s with the ‘REGISTRY ALREADY STORED!’ line?

Thanks again for the quick response,

Paul

[Riyad Kalla]

Paul,
Before we go too far down this path, you are using the Eclipse SDK (not the JDT) as your eclipse install correct?

[Paul]

Hah hah – good news. I’m retarted. I don’t know how I scrolled that far down their page just to download the wrong package. Anyhow, I got the correct one, and it’s working w/o problem – though I’m sure the RPM stuff was required regardless.

Thanks again,

Paul
