Problem to setup
 

Hi,
Any advice to this?
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$ tar -zxvf eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
tar (child): eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$

Just a shot in the dark, but I would try the command without the -C /opt argument and see whether the file decompresses to the local directory, before I tried anything else.

I still get
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$ tar -zxvf eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
tar (child): eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$

Broken download? What is the size of this file? According to their website it is supposed to be 160,242,552 bytes.

I re-do the download but I really get 46MB for that. Here is the place

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/?osType=linux

I get the download.

Try with wget

What to do, to the downloaded file below?

Delete partial downloads, use the file with size of 160,242,552 bytes. Rename it first, it has that long ugly name right now.

Try with the options in this order:
tar requires that the first option be one of the functions.

Order does not matter except that -f requires an argument i.e. filename. tar is capable of determining compression type so you could just try:

tar -xvf eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

However, I could download and untar the file without issues. The error "Cannot open: No such file or directory" would indicate the OP was not entering the file name correctly but I could not detect an error.

Are you typing the name or copying/pasting on the command line. If typing by hand try the later. If you are running a desktop have you tried to untar the file by clicking the name in the file browser?

Hi,
Can you please help to problem encountered below?

[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$ ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/eclipse': File exists
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$ rmdir /usr/bin/eclipse
rmdir: failed to remove `/usr/bin/eclipse': Permission denied
[huamin@CentOS65x64 Downloads]$ su
Password:
[root@CentOS65x64 Downloads]# rmdir /usr/bin/eclipse
rmdir: failed to remove `/usr/bin/eclipse': Not a directory
[root@CentOS65x64 Downloads]#

Post the output
ls -l /usr/bin/eclipse

FYI

[root@CentOS65x64 huamin]# ls -l /usr/bin/eclipse
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 112 Oct 25 2011 /usr/bin/eclipse
[root@CentOS65x64 huamin]#

A file already exists so a link can not be created.

You can not delete a file by using the rmdir command.

Many thanks.

I put this
##nano /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

within Terminal (but nothing happens), as I want to create Gnome desktop launcher. Please advise.
