Hi,

We need help to troubleshoot an error. We start Eclipse on a SunRay or Citrix TS, and then it crashes almost right after it opens. Usually just clicking on the "About Eclipse Platform" option, under Help menu is enough to crash it. And we get the error below.
Eclipse is installed on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (x86_64); VERSION = 10 ; PATCHLEVEL = 2

If you need any additional info, pls let me know.

Thanks a lot, Juliana

$ > eclipse -vm /opt/Sun/java/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/java

/opt//Sun/java/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.0.13/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_screen_get_resolution

I have found a solution: the issue seems to be a problem with xulrunner 1.9, so you need to tell eclipse to use xulrunner 1.8 instead

In my case, I added in the eclipse.ini file the following line after "-vmargs":

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.8.1

Of course, the path may depends on your system and also if you use a 32 bits or 64 bits version of eclipse (in my case, SUSE 10.3 64bits)
