(Native) Eclipse problems (again...)

[hceylan]

Hello,

Happy Fedora 7 for all...

I have the problem that occurred around FC4 with eclipse that when yo do

yum erase eclipse*

yum install eclipse

this breaks eclipse installation.

Eclipse won't start, saying "An error occurred. see log file..."

There were a past thread about that. Problem seems to be exactly the same.
No solution mentioned in the thread, (prelink, symbolic link, new user etc) works in my case.

I'd appreciate any help on the issue...

I think it would be better if you post the logfile... It could be located in /var/log

[mwette]

I think the log file mentioned is under ~/.eclipse. For example, try

$ cd
$ find .eclipse -name '*log*' -print
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.2.0/configuration/org.eclipse.update/install.log

It would be nice to see among all the eclipse documentation something about
how the installs are laid out (e.g., ~/.eclipse, workspaces, /usr/share/eclipse, ...)

[EDIT:
Also, I have been in your situation before. I removed eclipse AND moved ~/.eclipse
out of the way, and then reinstalled eclipse. It solved my problem, which had to do
with running an application which didn't see the required plugins.

Hello,

Thanks for taking care so quickly...

mwette, I tried to remove eclipse* along with all the other gcj ant etc. related rpms.
removed workspace, .eclipse, manually erased /usr/share/eclipse /usr/lib/eclipse ~/.java
then installed rpms back using yum. Same results. This is as root, as my personal user and as a new normal user....

I am redoing the same stuff now:

Here's the information requested:

#yum erase eclipse*
#rpm -e libswt3-gtk2-3.2.2-14.fc7

#rm -rf ~/.eclipse
#rm -rf ~/workspace
#rm -rf /usr/share/eclipse

Complete!

Arrrrrgh. (or should I say Ohh Thank god.)

For those that are having the same problem: Only change I did now is to remove and install libswt3-gtk2 again.

This did the trick!!!

Thanks for the help offer any way.

By the way, any chance to get wtp as rpm into fedora as well?

Right when I started reading your last response I remembered there was one gtk non-eclipse package.
It looks like you found it. It would be nice to know why eclipse runs into these problems...
