I'm trying to install Eclipse under Linux OS. I'm using SuSE Linux 8.0. But,
I still don't understand why it doesn't work. I use the latest release 2.1
and JRE Standard Edition version 1.3.1_01. Could someone help me? Thanks...

Can you post the contents of the error log in
/home/maverick/eclipse/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.log ?

Some pre-emptive guesses:
- put /home/maverick/eclipse/eclipse on front of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
start eclipse from this directory (ie.- "./eclipse ...")
- ensure that you have write access to at least eclipse's workspace
directory
- ensure that you used unzip and NOT jar to unzip the downloaded archive

Why? I'm asking, because I do that with the eclipse sources and it
works...

Jan,

There have been many problem reports in the past of Eclipse not starting
on linux w/motif if jar is used instead of unzip. The error was "File too
short: libXm.so.2"; it's a link, so I think jar doesn't handle it properly.

Using jar to extract eclipse source probably is not a problem though.

Ok, I didn't know about this link...

It works now. It was all because the path was still pointing to the old JRE.
I don't know why the installation didn't change the path.

Now I have a new question. Where can I get a free running PDE for C++

TIA.
