I think there are a couple more plausible fixes.
One temporary one is to use ldconfig to tell the system where your
libXm happens to lie.
Longer term, Eclipse on Linux will use Gtk, which ldconfig knows about
by default. So you won't need to do anything.
Another idea would be to rebuild the `eclipse' launcher program and
link it with `-Wl,-rpath,/path/to/libXm/directory/'. This would have
to be done on your system. A related idea would be to build an RPM
and then do this in the spec file; that would work because the RPM
would fix the install directories.
