the file /home/mlombard/.freemind/auto.properties doesn't exist, I suppose it's the problem but I don't know what to put in it (creating an empty file don't solve the issue)

Could be related to bug #1362

allons ...

I'm assuming that you are installing freemind 0.90, the latest version.

First thing to try is unistall and reinstall freemind.  Just to eliminate the possibility that freemind didn't install properly.
I suspect that the missing file
 ~/.freemind/auto.properties
 is only created when freemind runs successfully, to store temporary settings and any changes to the defaults.
(That is essentially the content of my file.)

Upstream says that -- at least with older versions of freemind -- there have been problems with openjdk/icedtea jvm, and recommends using the sun version.
I haven't had problems starting the 32-bit version of freemind with the openjdk jvm, but the problem could lie with the 64-bit version.

So please try the correction suggested upstream :
1) Install the sun version of Java. (java-1.6.0-sun in the repos)
Don't uninstall the openjdk version for now, as some functions of Libreoffice don't work properly with the sun version.  (If you use Libreoffice.)

2) create the file ~/.freemind/freemindrc, and put these 2 lines in it :

export PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26/jre:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26

This will cause freemind to access the sun jvm instead of the system default.

Please report back - hopefully Freemind will start :)

If not, fixes coming for the bug 1362 (mentioned in comment 1), which seems to affect only 64-bit systems, may solve your problem.

Comment 3 Marianne Lombard 2011-11-01 09:31:28 CET

Adding the freemindrc file don't solve the crash 

I'm waiting the glibc update.

Comment 4 andré blais 2011-11-01 11:27:12 CET

Right.  From my trace on another freemind bug, it doesn't seem that freemind uses anything that isn't in the current version of the openjdk/icedtea jvm.
(I've disabled freemindrc on my system.)

Hopefully the coming glibc update will solve your problem.

A comment in bug 1362 suggested, with both the openjdk/icedtea and sun jvm installed, to use

$ update-alternatives --config java

to select the sun version, which worked for them.
Could you try that ?

Glib was pushed in updates, can you test ?

Freemind work fine with the glibc present in update
