Crashes during setup of first profile under CentOS 5.2

[bathmatt]

When i try to do the example in the getting started guide vtlec dies with a java error. This happens when i click finish on the add tuning utility->first use wizzard. I get the following error in the window i started vtlec in.

gonzales@ted ~]$ vtlec
java: config_n_control.cpp:582: signed int TBSInitDriver(): Assertion `dwConfigID == 0' failed.


This is a completely stock, fully updated CentOS 5.2 system, it also happens on a 5.3 laptop and other 5.2 systems.

Thanks

Also, when the program diesa popup window says

I just check several things ( note that VTune Analyzer can't work under Virtual Environment for Linux*,like as VMWare*, etc)

1. If vtune driver has been loaded in the system - by using "lsmod| grep vtune"
2. If you can usevtl command line instead of vtlec- e.g. "vtl activity -c sampling -d 10 run"
3. If vtl can work, you can use "vtl view a1::r1 -gui" to view result. Note that you have to work in X-Window terminal.
4. Try other supported JRE in release notes - I don't if there is any limitation for default JRE 1.5.0, try higher version?

I am not in a virtual machine

/sbin/lsmod | grep vtune

So, i pasted the results in the qotes message. It looks like vtl is dieing, it is stating not enough memory. Any idea on why this is happening.?? I have 8G of ram, limits are set for unlimited mem usage, 512M stack size

As Peter hinted, you may need the Sun jre 1.6 for CentOS 5.2 (linux 64 version, if it is the x86_64 64-bit CentOS).
This requirement is known, for certain Intel products (at least for Red Hat 5.2), and I don't know why Intel declined to document it.
Your VTune must also be the Intel64 version, if you have x86_64. The installer should take care of that if you run it normally.
If, when you type "java," you get gcj, because /usr/bin/java is a symlink to gcj, you must remove that symlink (preferably before installing the updated jre). This problem may not occur until CentOS 5.3.
Anyway, when you type "java -version," you must see something like (for the 64-bit OS):
java version "1.6.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)

Thanks for the suggestion. i have tried the 64 bit java with the override env var. However, it looks like the problem isn't with java but with vlc itself.
