problem loading azureus, eclipse and vmware

[ponkarthik]

I am running Kubuntu/Dapper 6.06 on my dell laptop.

Recently I upgraded lots of packages as shown by adept. After this I am not able to run applications like azureus,eclipse and vmware. I get the following error.

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0845a248 ***
Aborted

I notice that the above programs are based on java. However Openoffice runs without problems.

Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

I searched in the net and found solutions like using

export Mallock_Check_ =1 or 2

I tried them. The error message goes away but still the program crashes.

The above programs run without any problem in Gnome.

Thanks

Karthik

azureus problem

I also have problem with azureus. I could start it only one time. Later it's loading screen appeared, but I didn't see the main window. I also have problem with it under Windows XP. After system reboot I'd get a notification --> see "notification problem" topic and I haven't been able to start it again.

Re: problem loading azureus, eclipse and vmware

try this:

cicmil@kubuntu:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

There are 3 alternatives which provide `java'.

     1        /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
+   2        /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
     3        /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
