Eclipse-SDK-3 can't start!

Bonch · 11-25-2004, 04:28 PM

When I try to start Eclipse with absolute path I get an error message "error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
" But when I "cd" to eclipse directory it says that : "Eclipse executable was unable to locate startup.jar!"
I'am running Apache 2 with Php5 and Mysql on Debian Sarge, also I have downloaded j2re1.4 and tried to chmod eclipse executable and startup.jar files with no luck :-(

There are a lot of different java packages on the sun.com maybe I should download something else?
Or change some kind system settings? Any suggestions plz!

So I solve my problem, it was connected with Java 2 environment.
I have found one very useful tutorial about setting Java environment on debian, hope this could help somebody else - http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/DEV/Java+on+Debian
