Hi, how can I configure Eclipse 3.4 in Linux SUSE 10.3?
I get the error below when launching.

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/bin/java
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070606.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86_64
-showsplash
-launcher /usr/lib64/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse

-startup /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070606.jar
-exitdata 70005

-vmargs
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070606.jar

Any help?

Thanks in advance
Simon

If you are trying to start up Eclipse on a 64bit OS you might have to install the 32bit java compatibility libraries. Perhaps.
(in Gentoo it's called "emul-linux-x86-java" - then start up java-config -l and activate the 32bit libraries)

Hi, many thanks.

I forced it to install by extracting eclipse from the .gz file and its now working fine.
