Eclipse Profile Configuration: The Launch Requires at Least One Data Collector
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeI just installed TPTP into my Eclipse 3.5 under Ubuntu 9.04 and tried to profile a class. The Profile Configuration opened with a red warning reading “the launch requires at least one data collector to be selected“. Clicking the configuration’s Monitor tab reveals a more detailed error (and nothing to select):
IWATO435E An error occured when connecting to the host.
A quick check of the error log (Window – Show View – Other… – General – Error Log) reveals the cause:
RAServer generated the following output: [Error Stream]:ACServer: error while loading shared libraries: /home/jholy/development/tools/eclipse-ide/pulse2-2.4.2/Common/plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.platform.ac.linux_ia32_4.4.202.v201002100300/agent_controller/bin/../lib/libtptpUtils.so.4: file too short
Checking the content of the lib/ folder revealed an interesting thing:
-rw-r–r– 1 jholy jholy 17 2010-02-16 23:16 libtptpUtils.so
-rw-r–r– 1 jholy jholy 21 2010-02-16 23:16 libtptpUtils.so.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jholy jholy 100K 2010-02-16 23:16 libtptpUtils.so.4.5.0
As also the content of the two small files suggests (they contain a name of the corresponding file with a longer name), the *.so and *.so.4 files should have been links but the installer failed to create them.
Solution
List all files in the lib/ folder, you will see that there are many real files like libtptpUtils.so.4.5.0 and libxerces-c.so.26.0 and many should-be-links files. The solution is, of course, to replace all those files that shoud be links with actual links.
For me the solution was:
$ cd .../plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.platform.ac.linux_ia32_4.4.202.v201002100300/agent_controller/lib
# Move out the files that are OK
lib$ mkdir tmp
lib$ mv libswt-* libcbe.so tmp/
# Fix the links
lib$ for FILE in `ls *.so`; do ln -sf "${FILE}.4.5.0" $FILE; ln -sf "${FILE}.4.5.0" "${FILE}.4"; done
# Move the correct files back
lib$ mv tmp/* .
lib$ rmdir tmp
# Fix links for files with *.26 instead of *.4.5.0
lib$ ln -sf libxerces-c.so.26.0 libxerces-c.so.26
lib$ ln -sf libxerces-c.so.26.0 libxerces-c.so
lib$ ln -sf libxerces-depdom.so.26.0 libxerces-depdom.so.26
lib$ ln -sf libxerces-depdom.so.26.0 libxerces-depdom.so
lib$ rm libxerces-depdom.so.4 libxerces-c.so.4
# Done!
Try to open the profile configuration now, the IWATO435E should have disappeared and you should be able to select a data collector.
If not, restart Eclipse, try again, check the error log.
My environment
- Ubuntu 9.04
- Eclipse 3.5
- TPTP – see above
