Currently running jabref 4.3.1 under CentOS 7.2.2009. Tried installing 5.2.1 on a second machine with same OS. rpm -ivh etc. completed without error, and a JabRef icon now appears in the Applications/Office menu, but clicking on it produces no visible result. /opt/jabref exists, but trying to execute /opt/jabref/bin/JabRef generates a bunch of error msgs starting with “ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [d]”, a backtrace printout (obscure to me), and a memory map dump that terminates with “Aborted (core dumped)”. How to fix?
Hi @tedc
Could you copy here the error messages? Skip the StatusLogger ones, since they are not really errors…

Hi, can you attach the file or paste it somewhere?

From the stack trace it seems like there are some problems with the graphics drivers/libs
JabRef uses JavaFX as GUI technology and that requires gtk, Maybe you are missing some gtk libs.
