crashing gets worse, reinstalled and everything

[designberg]

Hi All,

I've tried reinstalling 2.0 3 times, to no avail. At first the program goes through setup and opens well, soon it crashes. After that it barely starts and crashes again. It's hopeless after that. I'm up to date on all system software including Java. I tried the Terminal excercise, but that doesn't tell ME anything conclusive - it's all Greek to me. Here's the latest Console text:

I was doing fine in 1.x but I love the new interface. HELP please!

This is my Java version...

build 1.5.0_06-112

Have you done the following?:

1. Installed the latest NeoOffice patch?
2. Installed on Apple Mac OS X system updates?

Change to run under Java 1.4.

On my own builds on my Quad PPC Java 1.5 is incredibly unstable. I've been trying to track it down and thought it was related to APE, but even with APE disabled my own builds crash and burn once out of every five startups. I build gcc4, so that's where I've been trying to isolate my tracking.

The crashes seem to be random to me, sometimes in bitmap loading, sometimes in VM initialization, sometimes in drawRect within Apple's VM.

Stick with 1.4 on PPC and see if that improves things for you. I've not seen any issues with stock builds on gcc3.3 and Java 1.4 on my quad yet. Also, if 1.5 makes it to an input window in my gcc4 PPC build, it seems reasonable (but granted I never use that for more than a few minutes).

Ed,

Unfortunately I've been stuck looking at the form bug and helping a friend move (and he had a lot of stuff...it's now into the third day!) so haven't had time to check that out. I'll install it tonight and play around. I'm not sure if I can be of much help as I've never actually seen it with the official builds, only in my own build which right now is kind of like a patchwork quilt.
