Linux ZendStudio installation broken

[dukesdemise]

I had a problem upgrading Zend Studio from 9.02 to 9.03 on my Mac desktop, so my solution was to drag/drop the old installation into the trash and then download and install 9.03 from scratch. No problems.

So when I decided to upgrade Zend Studio from 9.02 to 9.03 on my Slackware Linux netbook I didn't even bother with the "Check for Updates" route. I simply deleted the ZendStudio directory (rm -rf $HOME/ZendStudio) in $HOME, downloaded the ZendStudio-9.0.3-x86.tar.gz archive, and then unarchived it in $HOME (tar xvfz ZendStudio-9.0.3-x86.tar.gz) and started it up. It refused to run stating one license was already in use before exiting. So I thought, no problem. I'll just get rid of the license and enter it anew. So, I got rid of what I thought was all of the necessary directories and their contents: .zs .ZendStudio

Now when I try to start up Zend Studio the splash screen comes up, it gets to loading com.zend.php.ui and hangs with a large white box in the center of the screen.

What now?

I can never remember if it's -clean or --clean so when this happens to me, which is surprisingly often, I run this in a terminal and it eventually fixes it;

Code: Select all

ZendStudio -clean --clean

Some times it doesn't work the first time, so if the white box pops up again, just Ctrl-C and run it again.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately for me running it from a command line using the 'clean' option didn't fix the problem. However, I now see what the problem is. It is complaining about some Gnome stuff not being present. Thats all fine, but I'm running KDE. I don't have Gnome on my system. Why in the world should a Java based tool look for Gnome? It doesn't make any sense.

This is the error:

Code: Select all

causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
