Hi

I am trying to run eclipse on a virtual machine running Centos 7. When I try to run it I get the following errors:

...
Can't load library: ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-pi4-gtk-4924r25.so
Can't load library: ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-pi4-gtk.so
...

When I look in that folder, there's only one file there, which is very similarly named:
libswt-pi3-gtk-4924r25.so

I have no idea what this file is, how the version that's there got there, why the correct files are missing, or what to do about it. And for once, searching the internet is not getting me anywhere. I have a vague idea what SWT is now but not where to get a different version of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How did you install Eclipse, i.e., from where did you get your Eclipse installation? You should have gotten it from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

I actually tried getting a different version from another part of the eclipse website and still had the same problem. The version I originally tried matches the version I get to from your link, specifically the one with this filename:
eclipse-cpp-2019-03-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

How recent an update of CentOS7 is that? Does it match up with the supported environments? https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_11.xml#target_environments

Did you run an older release before?

It's 7.2.1511, which is older than the listed Red Hat version of 7.5.

This is the first that I've tried to install eclipse on a Linux machine anywhere ever.

I could try upgrading the OS to 7.5, is there any reasonable likelihood of that actually helping though?

Ok, so one problem was that I didn't actually have any mechanism for displaying a GUI set up at all. I ran into a whole lot more problems trying to set that up. Then I started fresh with the most recent (admittedly too recent according to the supported environments) version of Centos, and between the fresh (virtual) machine and the upgraded OS it works. So, problem solved from my point of view, though the meaning of the particular error message remains a mystery.
