RE: [eclipse-dev] I Do not succeed in running Eclipse on Linux Red Hat 7.1
|
Hi thanks.
I tried to run that file but it didnt want to run. I tried bash and sh.
Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed (page 841) tells something about how binaries can
be run by using the sysctrl pseudo-files utility. It seems I need to
register the 'Magic Cookie' of the Eclipse binary by echoing something. I
am not sure what.
Does anybody has experience with this specific problem ?
Regards, Wout

There is a native Linux binary, called 'eclipse', that will start the
application. On WIndows, there is an eclipse.exe file that will start it.
