Reliably reproduced the problem thusly: Create a new VM with VirtualBox 3.1.2, 4 gig virtual disk Install xubuntu lucid alpha1 live CD # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade reboot # apt-get install sun-java6-jdk # apt-get install eclipse-platform create a new user, log in as that user $ eclipse
At this point eclipse will fail to launch, leaving the aforementioned failure to load 64 bit SWT libraries on 32 bit JVM error in ~/workspace/.metadata/log There are no '.so' files under /usr/share/eclipse, but /usr/lib/eclipse has ELF 32-bit libraries. The swt .so libraries are shipped as part of the swt jars. Those also appear to be 32-bit. This is probably a bogus error caused by something else (like not being able to load gcj-specific libraries with sun's jdk?) -- eclipse 3.5.1+repack~2-0ubuntu1 gives 64-bit runtime error on 32-bit system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483676 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
