I haven’t posted on here for so long i’m going to attempt a new approach which is – shorter posts, maybe this will be less daunting for me.

Anyway, i’ve been having alot of trouble with stability on rubymine on my machine which is running fedora 12 so I just did a refresh and decided to write a quick how to make it work properly:

- install Sun Java JDK 1.6
(make sure to set your alternatives to use the latest version of sun java you just installed)

- download rubymine from rubymine website
- edit bin/rubymine.sh and add the following line:

JDK_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17

You could also add this to your path variables if you like.

Now remove the following file from your bin folder: libyjpagent.so

This has solved almost all my rubymine errors and it’s running significantly faster on my fedora box. I’ll post here with updates if I find any other fixes.
