Error message: Cannot run 'global'. ...

Submitted by groofke on Tuesday, 12 January, 2010 - 13:46

Hi,

I'm new at jEdit and i even just installed this program today. I took all the plugins, but i'm getting this error message: "Cannot run 'global'. Please set the path to 'global' in the plugin options."
I've looked at the plugin options at the menu globalplugin. There i see on the top line: "'global' path and a text box, with global in it. I guess that's what the error-message means, but what am i doing wrong? Or is it somewhere else i have to look?

Greets,

Groofke

path

I'm not using the Global Plugin, but I think that You have to provide the path to the GNU Global source tagging tool (that You already should have installed).

In general You don't should install "all" plugins, but only those that You will use sometimes. If You don't know the Global tool, maybe You don't need the Global plugin...

Solving the "Cannot run global" from a full plugin installation

#1
If a "A Cannot run global" message keeps poping up after installing all plugins, then uninstall the 'GlobalPlugin'.
To remove it, use the Plugin Manager and restart jEdit.

Some more problems gotten from a full plugin installation using version 4.3.1:

#2
Error message:
Sourced file: inline evaluation of: 'new p4plugin.P4FileInfo(); ...
Class or variable not found: p4plugin.P4FileInfo ...

To solve this, I tried to find p4plugin and remove it, but the Plugin Manager didn't show the respective plugin as p4Plugin. After other attempts, the solution was the manual deletion of the respective jar (INSTALL_DIR/jEdit/jars/P4Plugin-0.3.1.jar), because the Plugin Manager couldn't help.

#3
Some plugins didn't install successfully. Just 4 of them.
So, I removed them using the "Plugin Manager".

NOTE:
Check the status of the plugins after any installation.
If someone shows any kind of error status, remove it or try to install again.

These procedures permitted me to perform a successful (almost) full plugin installation at one step, although it's not advisable.
