Eclipse startup

max2004 · 03-03-2005, 11:38 AM

Hey everyone!

I just "installed" (= unzipped) Eclipse (eclipse-SDK-3.1M5a-linux-gtk-x86_64). When I tried to start it a messagebox opens saying An error has occurred. See the log file "/home/max/programme/eclipse/configuration/1109871086493.log".
In this file it says:

The file (libswt-pi-gtk-3123.so) that can't be opened does exist and rights are -rwxr-xr-x .

How can I get Eclipse to work?

Thanks, max.

run ldconfig in the directory it's complaining about. Is $JAVA_HOMEset correctly?

Hey,

I ran ldconfig (as a root) in the

Code:

/home/max/programme/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk64_3.1.0/os/linux/x86_64/

directory, but the error stays the same

When I tried echo $JAVA_HOME , nothing returned. So I tried to set this variable with set JAVA_HOME = /usr/bin/java , but afterwards echo still didn't return anything.

It should be something like 'set JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2re-1.x.x(or wherever your j2 runtime or sdk is installed)' . Then run 'export JAVA_HOME'. When you get it set correctly you will need to edit your personal or systemwide bash profile to get the above environment variable to stick across relogins. There is a test for a correct install using 'javac' from the command line. Search /usr/share/doc/j* it's in a README or INSTALL file.

A side note: the permissions of the whole directory tree have to be set correctly (read & execute), not just the permissions of the file to be read. I believe Java is set up correctly since the log file states the version (1.4.2_06).

Thanks for that hint, I checked the directory permissions and they are all read & execute. And you're right: Java is set up correctly, since I can compile and run a Java "Hello World" program from the commandline.

Mhh.. thats maybe a little embarrassing, but I'm having difficulties figuring out to what exactly I should set the JAVA_HOME?
According to YUM the following is installed: jre.x86_64, jdk.i586 and j2re.i586. As you told me I read /usr/share/doc/j2re-1.4.2/README, but it's all about redistributing the Java RE.
The whereis java command returned: java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz

Sorry to bother you again...

I had the same error and it was resolved when I installed the 64-bit version of the JDK.

Congratulations. If you just need a java development environment, remember you can get the very good (IMHO) netbeans ide with the latest java development kit from Sun.
