I have installed Eclipse 2.1 GTK under RedHat 7.3. Yes, I am aware that this
is not a supported configuration but my customers have specified 7.3 as
their target environment so my hands are tied to some extend. Eclipse starts
fine and I can create projects, compile, etc. but once in a while the whole
X environment (KDE in my case) dies without a trace (just a core dump is
left around).
I am suspicous that this is caused by the GTK 2.0.2 libraries being used
instead of the desired GTK 2.0.6. But when I try to install 2.0.6 it wants
all sorts of other things like a new glibc, etc. which I am hesitant to
install as I don't want to break the whole system.
So, three questions:
a) Is the problem I am observing (X windows crashing) likely be caused by
the incorrect GTK version or is it more likely something else?
b) Has anyone successfully installed GTK 2.0.6 or later and the stuff it
depends on under RedHat 7.3.
c) Any other tips to get Eclipse (reliably) working under RedHat 7.3.
Thanks
Manuel

I'm not sure, but why don't you try to compile the gtk libs on this
system. I've only debian experience, but usually I would download
the source RPMs and then there should be a way to compile them. This
should at least let you keep the old glibc.
Thats at least the way you can take on debian, where there
are a lot of backports of all things (includig gnome2.2,
which comes with newer gtk libs), which are compiled for
woody, which ships with an old glibc (and a different compiler, but
thats only a matter for c++ code).
Also, it might help to compile swt on that system.
