Sleuthkit 4.7.0 and Autopsy 4.13.0 error

Autopsy Help
1

I have build the Sleuthkit 4.7.0 patched through 2019-12-20 and Autopsy 4.13.0, all for Fedora 31, x86_64.

I cannot successfully create a case, getting this error which I do not understand. I am looking for help. Thanks!

I can provide more details describing how I built these packages. I am the person who builds packages for the CERT Linux Forensics Tools Repository (http://www.cert.org/forensics/repository).

Which JAVA do you have installed? For me (on Debian) it only works with Bellsoft Java, as stated in the install guide.

@remmilou is on the right track. The “NoSuchMethodError” for a method that takes a JavaFX ObservableList is an indication that Sleuthkit was built against a Java distribution that doesn’t contain JavaFX .
Note that the Sleuthkit dependency on JavaFX has been removed for the upcoming 4.8.0 release.
Autopsy will continue to have a dependency on JavaFX.
