A few days ago, I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Now I am having problems with my Eclipse programming application. When I try to run the app, I get the following error message:
"The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its
companion shared library."
I then ran Eclipse at the command line for a more detailed explanation and got this message:
"plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0. 200.v20090519: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I looked for this file inside the plugins directory and discovered that the file does not exist. I reviewed the eclipse.ini and saw that the file is referenced there:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v2009071 5.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0. 200.v20090519
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directo ry=/usr/share/eclipse/dropins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using Eclipse version 3.7. How can I fix this problem? Do I need change the referenced file to a different name or do I need to somehow download this launcher from the Eclipse website?
Also, I did a command line search (find / -name 'org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.*' 2>/dev/null) for a launcher and found these files:
/usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/sdk/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.source_1.2.0.dist.jar
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1. 100.dist
So, I have no idea how I am suppose to fix this. Your help is greatly appreciated.
