CCS v5.5 for Linux keeps crashing

Expert 1635 points

Hi,

I have installed CCS5 (Version: 5.5.0.00077) over Kubuntu 13.10 64-bit.  The installation was uneventful, the dependencies are all uphold, the license server installed and running, I can even compile and debug.  But...

The problem arises when a modal window is closed (either by OK or by Cancel): that will close CCS and generate a log that starts like:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xf7204bfe, pid=11108, tid=4149896896
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (11.3-b02 mixed mode linux-x86)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libgobject-2.0.so.0+0x16bfe]  g_object_get_qdata+0x1e
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
# See problematic frame for where to report the bug.

...

The changes made are saved though.  So, every time I need to change a project property or change between Debug/Release (the act of choosing from the pull down menu) closes CCS immediately.  Another curious issue is that the act of closing the TI Resource Explorer tab closes CCS too.  Extremely inconvenient.  I should add that the eclipse 3.8 I have installed from the Ubuntu repos works perfectly.

I was looking upon two possible solutions:

1) To install CCs as a plugin into the existent eclipse.  This fails with a message saying that the eclipse version cannot be determined (I tried running the install as a user and as root).  BTW, I have tried to install the CCS plugin on an existent eclipse in the past, using previous CCS5 releases over 32-bit Kubuntus and it always failed (CCS though worked fine).

2) To try to make eclipse use a different jre than the one packed with CCS.  I tried a couple of hacks with jre-6 and jre-7 installed from the Ubuntu repos and could not make it work so far.

I would appreciate it if somebody could provide some guidance on how to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Pibe
