Gambas3 IDE startup fails after updates

[RupertReynolds]

I just got to like Gambas3, then it stopped running. I think the only change was updating Fedora 38 to 39. Same problems from both the default GNOME desktop, and the 'GNOME classic' desktop.

Any suggestions please on how to get it running under my own username, and how to avoid problems in future?

Framework 13th gen Intel, Fedora 39. Doesn't start from the GUI menus, or from CLI :-

Code: Select all

[roopid@fedora ~]$ gambas3
[gb.jit].CCompilation.Run.83: #68: Cannot run child process: cannot run executable: No such file or directory
[gb.jit].CCompilation.Run.83 [gb.jit].Jit._Compile.143 ?

I just tried sudo and the IDE starts OK and seems to be running correctly :-

Code: Select all

[roopid@fedora ~]$ sudo gambas3 &
[6] 10096
[5]   Done                    sudo gambas3
[roopid@fedora ~]$ 

but I don't see sudo as a long term solution

bad link?

try
which gambas3
is it
/usr/bin/gambas3

ls -l /usr/bin/gambas3
is it..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 23 00:12 /usr/bin/gambas3 -> gambas3.gambas

does it load okay if you type
gambas3.gambas

It certainly a problem your end and not something common we are familiar with.

This all looks OK to me. both files are +r and +x for all users.

Code: Select all

[roopid@fedora ~]$ which gambas3
/usr/bin/gambas3
[roopid@fedora ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/gambas3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Aug  7 01:00 /usr/bin/gambas3 -> gambas3.gambas
[roopid@fedora ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/gambas3.gambas
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6432588 Aug  7 01:00 /usr/bin/gambas3.gambas
[roopid@fedora ~]$

I also tried a dnf reinstall.

dnf info shows Source : gambas3-3.18.3-2.fc39.src.rpm and I can't see anything out of the ordinary.

Hmm...

The issue seems to be JIT related.

you could try the env setting GB_NO_JIT = true

env GB_NO_JIT=true gambas3

if it works you could set an alias in /etc/profile.
alias gambas3='env GB_NO_JIT=true gambas3'

I had a similar issue when i changed my /tmp folder to be a tmpfs ramdisk. It broke gambas JIT so i stopped making /tmp a ramdisk.

Not sure why your gambas JIT is broken but at least it can be bypassed.

[BruceSteers]

did you install all gambas components?

is gambas3-gb-jit installed?

[RupertReynolds]

I defined a new User and gambas3 seems to be working fine there.

I still don't know what broke it, but as long as it work...

Thanks for the suggestions
