Environment

Novell Analyzer 4.0.1 (build 20110401)
Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 1

Situation

After installing Analyzer 4.0.1 using the framwork installer, Analyzer won't load when the launcher icon is double-clicked.
Executing it from command line gives the following error messages:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xa68b3a41, pid=8825, tid=4138252048

Aborted

Resolution

Edit the file Analyzer.ini and add this line at its end:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/

For SLES 11 (not SLES 11 SP1) the line is:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/

Save the file then Analyzer should start properly from either command-line or the desktop launcher.
