[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Eclipse doesn't start with Mandrake Linux 9.0

Grant,

I had FreeType 2.1.3 installed but it was from Mandrake's cooker.  
So I uninstalled it and installed 2.0.9.  The faq says
2.1.2 is needed but I didn't find an rpm available for Mandrake. 
Nevertheless, eclipse starts now! (even with 2.0.9)

I'll just have to go back to Mozilla 1.1. 

Thanks,

Phil
