| Getting Visual Paradigm to launch on Fedora 36 | Bundle your libraries correctly, kids | 2022-06-13 |

When installing Visual Paradigm on my Fedora workstation today, I kept running into a SIGSEGV error, causing the bundled JVM to crash.
This issue was specifically starting at a function call to hb_font_get_font_v_extents_default in libharfbuzz.
The solution
To get VP to launch correctly:
- Download the
InstallFreeversion of the program from your download source and extract it - Download Temurin JRE 11.0.15 and extract it
- Delete the
Visual_Paradigm_<version>/jredirectory from the VP installer - Replace that JRE directory with the contents of the Temurin JRE package (renaming the folder to
jre) - Launch, and ignore the warnings

Why does this post exist?
SEO? I will probably run in to this issue again a few more times, so why not write it down instead of digging through a crash report from the second page of google.
..and ya. SEO. Lots of juicy keywords are to be had in this document 😉
