Description Philippe CLA 2002-05-03 20:33:25 EDT 
I installed eclise on linux & gtk2.

when I run :
/usr/local/eclipseGtk2/eclipse -vm /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_03//bin/java -data /root/
-ws gtk -arch x86

I get
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/usr/local/eclipseGtk2/plugins/org.eclipse.swt/os/linux/x86/libswt-pi-gtk-2034.so:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so : shared object not open
        at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)

libXft.so exists      

Any Idea ?  
Is there some help how to install Gtk2 for eclipse ?
I install the following rpm :
(libgtk+-x11, pango, freetype, libatk,libglib,libgdk_pixbuf)


Eclipse M5 build
Linux mandrake 8.2
Jdk1.3

M5 had very serious problems on GTK2.
Could you try the latest nightly build, and tell us if it works for you?
Comment 2 Philippe CLA 2002-05-11 05:48:52 EDT 
Great job you did in a few days !

I tried latest build 20020510 and it works fine,
content assit works also.

Only a small problem about fonts, I think I do
not have the right fonts because font display is
bad.  I installed all redhat cd fonts ?  Which 
font do you use ??

I use :
redhat 7.3
gtk 2
Kde 3.0

Good, so I'm closing the bug on the library-not-found part.

I've created bug 15870 for the fonts-are-ugly part.  Please append details of 
your setup (especially - do you use anti-aliasing?).
