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?  
[https://ctxt.io/](https://ctxt.io/)  
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.
