Hi,

I tried to use the installer of Eclipse IDE 2019‑12 64bit with
Linux 4.15.0-72-lowlatency #81-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 26 13:09:12 UTC 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

execution fails: bash: ./eclipse-inst: Cannot execute the binary: Error in program file format
(bash: ./eclipse-inst: Kann die Binärdatei nicht ausführen: Fehler im Format der Programmdatei).

Is there another dist of a binary?

many regards and an happy new year,
Isli

You can always download a package from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ but if the "eclipse-inst" executable doesn't run on your Linux variant ,it's likely that the "eclipse" executable in the package won't run for exactly the same reason.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Sounds not good. Ubuntu seems to be exotic.

Next, I'll try the complicated procedure as mentioned in https://itsfoss.com/install-latest-eclipse-ubuntu/.

But I posted this on the wrong thread:

BTW, I assume you downloaded https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2019-12/R/eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz and that works for me on Ubuntu...

So Ubuntu is not exotic and this worked for me on the 16.x and now the 19.0 versions.

Before continuing, make sure that your Ubuntu is 64 bits (and not 32 bits).

Frustrated, so many hours and things did not work.

You're right:
bash: ./eclipse: Kann die Binärdatei nicht ausführen: Fehler im Format der Programmdatei

file ./eclipse
./eclipse: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=b621fbc20e80d7ac375ece11a5775fc6686b71c7, with debug_info, not stripped

Let's do some analysis:

Check Ubuntu Version:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic

Check installed Java version:
$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-8u232-b09-0ubuntu1~18.04.1-b09)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

Check GTK-Version:
~$ dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version'
Version: 3.22.30-1ubuntu4

Run eclipse (loaded from umake)
./eclipse
bash: ./eclipse: Kann die Binärdatei nicht ausführen: Fehler im Format der Programmdatei

Check that binary:
~/.local/share/umake/ide/eclipse$ file ./eclipse
./eclipse: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=b621fbc20e80d7ac375ece11a5775fc6686b71c7, with debug_info, not stripped

Running eclipse (loadfed from snapcraft -> Photon June 2018)

Now, I have no plan, what to do. Any hints, please?

Thx, Isli

Everything works for me even on the 32-bit version, strange.

It seems that you have to upgrade to 64 bit Ubuntu.

If I were you, I'd back up the user directories, take a copy of repository selections with APT (see Debian APT documentation or google for it) and jettison the Linux, then install a 64 bit Ubuntu from afresh (never needed to try it myself).

Google found quite many good responses with 'change 32 bit Ubuntu to 64 bit'.

After having a working 64 bit system, get the Eclipse Linux installer and use it to install your flavor of Eclipse. IIRC, the Ubuntu installation sets up a Java installation which is OK for Eclipse, at least in my 18.04LTS, 19.04 and 19.10 Ubuntus.

So I did and it works! Eclipse now is runing stable.

But it was an odyssey because of some other problems in the context ( UEFI boot versus legacy with password protected BIOS, 1st update ubuntu got stuck at systemd and kill the update also killed disk consistency, user homes could not be restored completely, just a few other problems ...)

But, eclipse now runs with 64 ubuntu.

Many thanks again!
