I can't seem to run eclipse on RH8. I downloaded and unzipped the
eclipse gtk to /opt/eclipse. I am using jdk1.3.1_07.

at the bash, using the command /opt/eclipse/eclipse -data
/home/gbrethen/workspace -ws gtk I receive the following error:

"error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory"

can anyone help!

You need to either add the Eclipse install dir to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
("export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/eclipse/eclipse") or cd to
the Eclipse install dir when you launch.

Personally, I opt for the latter approach. I use a simple bash script that
cd's to the install dir and launches Eclipse with my preferred options.

ok, that seemed to work! Thank you.

Any way I can turn that command into an icon action?

Yep. It will vary by what desktop (Gnome, KDE, etc.) you use, but you can
either make an action that points to the Eclipse executable and includes
the arguments you need or you can point the action to your bash script.

The Eclipse install dir includes a file icon.xpm that works for shortcuts.
