  I suspect you built the 32-bit sources rather than the 64-bit ones.

  Try this.  Go to http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ and click on the
"more..." for either the stable or development release.  Download the
Linux/GTK+ x86-64 SWT source and binary .zip.  In there will be a
src.zip which will have in it the C sources for Linux x86-64.  Use the
make_linux.mak makefile to build the .so files, and use the swt.jar from
in there.

  If you can get this to run your little SWT app, then you should be
able to use those libraries and that SWT .jar to bring up Eclipse.

  Let me know if you're having trouble.
