Hmm, looks like it's having trouble reading some image. It'd be nice if it mentioned what image that happened to be, but such is life. Are you using a pixmap GTK theme? This doesn't happen with the Motif version, does it?

I had this problem today,just the same as you.When decompressing the zip file,I use the konqueror,so errors just as you show appears.But while I start konqueror from the console,a lot of errors dealing with gif file failures displayed,so I use unzip,guest what? Everything is ok.


so I think this error come from failure of decompression or the file corrupts,you'd better try to use md5 after download and unzip to install

Thanx man!! I also got it working last night. There is a bug in konqueror for uncompressing! I used unzip in console, and started eclipse....worked like a bomb!!!
