why DS5 ce version got segment falut on ubuntu1604?

As of the 20th June 2017, there have been some Linux updates rolled out to the various distributions that might prevent Eclipse / DS-5 from starting.

Symptom is that when DS-5 is started from the command line, it fails to start and reports :

Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

 
Answer

Until the issue is resolved, there is a workaround described here.

 
Workaround

Work-around to this issue is as follows :

The 'eclipse.ini' file (in <DS-5 Install Dir>/sw/eclipse ) needs to be modified.

If you have write access to this directory then you can modify the file directly, otherwise take a copy.

Modify 'eclipse.ini' such that lines :

-vm

../java/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so

are changed to read :

 
-vm

../java/bin

and then save the updated eclipse.ini

If you have modified the supplied eclipse.ini file then DS-5 can be launched as normal.
 

If you have taken a copy of the 'eclipse.ini' then then this needs to passed to DS-5 on start-up

This can be done using the '–-launcher.ini' command line option. See the 'Example' section.

 
Example

An example command line is shown below that shows a modified 'eclipse.ini' file being passed into DS-5 :


/usr/local/DS-5_v5.27.1/bin/eclipse --launcher.ini ~/eclipse.ini

 where :

/usr/local/DS-5_v5.27.1 is the install directory of DS-5 v5.27.1

The modified 'eclipse.ini' file is located in the users home directory.
