java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

I get this error when I try to install Zend Studio on my Fedora Core 8 installation. Last week all went well on a Fedora Core 7 installation.

I assume this has to do with some jre or similar, but I don't know where to start Any ideas? Here is the prompt when I install:

[peterlauri@dhcppc13 ~]$ ./ZendStudio-5_5_0.bin
Preparing to install...

Greetings,

I had the same problem with the BOINC manager application (#./boincmgr). I ended up launching the app itself (#./boinc). HtH.

Here's a description of the problem

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view...bug_id=6532373

I used the "sed" workaround and it worked for me:

For sun-java5-bin:
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

For sun-java6-bin:
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

I hope this gets fixed soon.

The "sed" workaround didn't do it for me. I am getting lost. I am thinking to move back to FC7 as it worked very well there.

I ditto m4rgin4l , I've been struggling with Java too. For me it's almost a deal breaker if java cannot be made to work. Cannot make icetea work on Seamonkey my browser of choice, funny(as in irritating)it works with Firefox, icetea that is.

[m4rgin4l]

That's weird. I've used the workaround on three different computers and it worked on all of them. Are you supplying the correct path for libmawt.so? On my PCs java is not installed on the path that is mentioned in the workaround (I'm using the official JDK rpms).

[peterlauri]

Hi. I did a find -name 'libmawt.so' in the /usr/lib and then I made the sed. And it didn't work

[Cloty]

At first,you should run Zend installer in a slint mode
#./ZendStudio-5_5_0.bin -i silent

after installation run
# cd /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.0/jre/lib/i386/xawt
# cp libmawt.so libmawt.so.bak && sed -i ’s/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g’ libmawt.so

Can any one help me to setup netbeans 6.0?

I hope if I haven't setup Fedora 8.
Now,I know stable version is important.

Peter, I had the same exact problem as you and I could find a solution. Now Zend Studio works fine for me. =)

Let's see, the problem happens for many Java versions on a recent linux distribution, in this case Fedora 8. The workarounds posted here worked fine, the really difficult part is applying the workaround to the right installation of the JVM. In this case it's very tricky because the binary installer uncompress a different JVM in /tmp/install.dir.XXXX (where XXXX are different random numbers) every time you try to execute the binary installer.

So, what I did was to make a temporary copy of the JVM bundled with the Zend installer somewhere else (eg: /root - you can delete it later on) with the following command:
# cp -R /tmp/install.dir.XXXX/Linux/resource/jre/ /root/java

Remember to replace XXXX with the exact numbers. Then apply the fix on that Java installation in the root home:
# cd /root/java/lib/i386/xawt
# sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so

That's all, now execute the Zend installer this way:
# ./ZendStudio-5_1_0.bin LAX_VM /root/java/bin/java

note that I am using Zend Studio 5.1.0 and you are using a newer one (5.5.0) so I had to previously apply the fix explained here [ http://www.zend.com/support/knowledg...26&view_only=1 ] to make it work. It's an old problem and it's needed to install Zend Studio even on Fedora 7. So you might need to apply this, may be not. But I guess you probably know this already.

Now, follow the regular steps during the installation and then apply the same fix to the definitive Java installation for Zend Studio:
# cd /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudioClient-5.1.0/jre/lib/i386/xawt (your install dir may vary)
# sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so

That's it my friend... run Zend Studio the regular way as a normal user:
$ /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudioClient-5.1.0/bin/ZDE (again, your install dir may vary)

Cheers,

The problem is the replaced XLib in F8.
XLib in F8 is replaced by http://xcb.freedesktop.org/.

XCB (especially the 1.0) is not nice regarding locks.
I've upgraded libxcb to version 1.1 (upstream) and got some problems solved (Citrix Client in my case).

IMHO the Fedora-Devels should A.S.A.P. repackage xcb and replace 1.0 with 1.1.

I tried using libxcb version 1.1 by "yum --enablerepo=development install libxcb.x86_64"

It didn't solve the problem. I then tried the 'sed' workaround and it worked like a charm!

I was trying to run ArgoUML, btw.

Mmmm.... maybe in your case updating libxcb to rawhide wasn't necessary.

The sed work around works great. F8, FF 2.0.0.9, jdk1.6.0_03. I NEED java applet to access my work Juniper SSL VPN. Thanks for the info!
