pty utility doesn't work on some 64 bit Linux systems (Andrew knows exact ones). This makes remote, terminal, tool collection detection, etc.
Indeed the problem is with the binary. It was compiled on a machine that produced binaries that cannot be started on other some x86_64 linux hosts... There is no good solution so far. We have several options though: - compile binaries on some other machine and update them in nb distro - put zip with sources to a distribution so that people who faced with the problem could compile binaries themselves (and tell the IDE to use those binaries instead of it's own) - make an infrastructure that will do such a compilation without user's interaction
is it reproducible in 7.4? If it is only for patching purpose and not seen in 7.4 then please put NO74 keyword here
It appeared that mentioned Linux machines are very old and (looks like) the problem is in linking with some system libraries.. In any case binaries were re-built and tested on several Linux'es.
