I’m running 64 bit version of fc10. I can’t run the 64 bit version of myeclipse because of the too many open files (file-max=1166536) and also some error about not enough memory (system has 12G). So I got the 32 bit version. When I try to install it says “The windowing libraries for your operating system and architecture are not available. Please confirm that you are using the installer that corresponds to your architecture.” I’m willing to install the 32 bit version of the libraries IF I only knew which libraries to install. HELP!

I’m trying to install myeclipse-7.5.0-linux-gtk-x86.

I would really like to get the 64 bit version working but I’ll take at least one working.

When I start the 64 bit versions I get two errors.
Initializing Java Tooling
An internal error occurred during: “Initializing Java Tooling”. org/maven/ide/eclipse/jdt/BuildPathManager

MyEclipse Memory Monitor
An internal error occurred during: “MyEclipse Memory Monitor”.

And when I exit I get “Unable to store workbench state.”

Could not read master table.

DIS,
Can you refer to the following link
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshooting-how-to-fix-too-many-open-files-on-linux/

just curious, do you really think I need more than 1,166,536 files open in a system that was just rebooted? How many do you think I need?

How much more than 12G of memory do I need?

DIS,

Have you tried making the changes in the FAQ entry provided by Shalini and then rebooting MyEclipse, did that help? If not, can you copy and paste your installation details here? You can get it from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Detail. and copy the contents of that system file here. We cannot reproduce the issue on our end with Fedora Core or Ubuntu 9.04

Joy,

So you think I should reduce open files from 1,166,536 to 65535 and that will fix the isue?

This non-working install was done using pulse. I have a working one I did manually. Seems to me it is unrelated to the number of open files or the amount of memory I have in the system. Yet the software complains. Can you tell me where I can find the list of windowing libraries the 32 bit install is looking for?

[support-joy]

No I don’t think that will do any good. Can you send a screenshot of the error along with your error log file? I will have a dev team member investiigate more on this. Your error log should be located here – [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log
You can either hit the PM button and send it or send a mail to [email protected] with attachments and please add ATTN:Joy in the subject and refer to this thread.
Sorry for the inconvinience.

DIS,

I don’t know what to tell you — the problem is the open file handles. Our FAQ entry provides some guidance on how to adjust for this up to 65k — it was my understanding that was an upper bound or a “max”, I wonder if you have your file handles set *so high* that they are just getting ignored. It’s worth a shot — we’ve seen that FAQ entry fix the “Too many files open” issue on quite a few Linux 64-bit installs… it’s always the same culprit.

As for the libraries the platform is complaining about, it’s the SWT binary in the Eclipse platform — it’s compiled against a 32-bit GTK build — that’s what it’s looking for.

I don’t know if you can just drop the 32-bit GTK libs on there and hope they work — those will themselves be built against deeper 32-bit platform binaries that you would need as well and so on and so on… I think you’re stuck with the 64-bit built working.

The good news is that you can just create your own install very easily (you mentioned that worked for you) — just point at our update site (it’s on the download page) or download the Archived Update Site and add it into your own Eclipse 3.4.2 SDK Classic install.

That is of course assuming that following the FAQ to the letter didn’t do the trick 😉
