Hi Dani!

Thx for your link!

I made folowing attempts, but all without sucess Sad


First, I set env var ECLIPSEHOME with absolute path to eclipse install dir, then I

a) call with (java version 1.6 and 1.7)
java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar

result for both java versions:

!SESSION Thu Oct 25 14:43:28 MEST 2012 -----------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2012-10-25 14:43:28.390
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:
!STACK
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438)
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1414)

b) call it directly with -vm

./eclipse -vm /opt/jdk_1.7.0-05/bin/java

results in the same ".../eclipse_1502.so: invalid ELF heder" error msg from my inital posting

c) insert
-vm /opt/jdk_1.7.0_05/bin/java
into eclipse.ini before my inital posting without success


I attempted to call Eclipse Juno like described fpr Eclipse 3.2 but i did not found any "eclipse/startup*" jar file.


Eclipse Juno starts and works perfekt on my Win7 host but not on Linux Redhat 5.8!


regards,
Otmar

Otmar,

You understood that using the -vm option, you must put it on two
separate lines in eclipse.ini, right?

-vm
/opt/jdk_1.7.0_05/bin/java

Still, corrupt ELF header would indicate that the file eclipse_1502.so
is bad. Perhaps redoing your installation exploding a tarball from a
fresh download?

Best of luck.

Hi Russell!

I redownload eclipse 4.2.1 64bit (unter Windows OS) for Linux and unzip and untar under Linux and it works without and problems .

Just to document my problem:
With my first download (default mirror for 64bit), download under Windows + unzip and untar with 7-Zip on Windows and move then to Linux enviroment, I face the ELF problem.

But now it works.
Thx to you and Dani for your replys.

Best regards,
Otmar
