Re: help with gtk2 & pango on solaris/sparc?

["Will Boyd" <javafreelancer gmail com>]

hi again,

according to the eclipse documentation, it is spec'ed to require gtk+
2.2.x or higher. i already had  gtk+2.2.4 installed. but, i have
updated to pango 1.8.0 + all its pre-reqs using this handy-dandy
pkg-get tool:

   http://sunfreeware.com/pkg-get.html

imagine my disappointment when i fired up eclipse after the  pkg
updates; and see the shell deluged with those same "broken
pango-layout" msgs.

PRETTY PLEASE! - can anybody tell me how to make these annoying msgs stop?

or at least, can anybody explain _why_ the msgs are occuring? thanks in advance for your help.


many thanks

hi all,

i use the eclipse ide (v 3.2.2) to do java development on a sunblade 100 running solaris 9/sparc. i don't do gtk+ development or anything. it just so happens that my java ide (eclipse) uses gtk+ for its gui. 

i was wondering if anybody could shed any light on an issue i'm encountering with pango in relation to eclipse. whenever i run eclipse, the shell from which i launch it gets deluged with dozens and dozens of these msgs:


===========================================================
...
** (Eclipse:1605): WARNING **: pango-layout.c:2435: broken PangoLayout

** (Eclipse:1605): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "adobe-courier 12" falling back to "Sans 12"

... ad nauseum...
===========================================================

plus, there is another problem where eclipse's syntax highlighting and whatnot is broken (the font color palettes are stuck on white). that is, i can select a new color for a font, but the indicator displays only the color white, and the font doesn't change to the color that i selected. i suspect that this and the pango warning msgs in the shell are related.

prior to installing eclipse on my sb100, i installed mozilla 1.7.13. but before installing mozilla, i had to install gtk2. i dl'd gtk 2.2.4 from sunfreeware.com back in aug/sep 2004.  at that time i also installed the pre-reqs (pango, gcc, atk, libiconv, etc.).

i have posted requests for help to the relevant eclipse newsgroups. in the meantime, i was wondering if anybody here could suggest what my problem might be? from what i can gather from different posts by other eclipse users in a few different discussion forums and bug databases, the configuration of pango and gtk2 is often mentioned as being involved somehow.

i don't get any obvious problems with mozilla (the only other app on my machine besides eclipse that uses pango, gtk, etc; that i know of anyway).  here are my questions specifically:

   1. is there some way to switch off gtk's or pango's debug logging so these warnings aren't displayed in the shell?

   2. does gtk+ or pango come into play as far as eclipse's color-selection functionality?

   3. is there someway to check if there is a conflicting version of gtk or pango lying around somewhere on my machine?

i have included the output of the pkginfo command for info about the gtk-related pkgs installed on my sb100 in case it sheds light on anything. any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance for your help.

cheers,
sun_certified
