Eclipse 3.3 on AIX

[marc.stroebel]

Hi,

I'm trying to run eclipse on an AIX machine. After start only the
splash screen comes up. The logfile shows the following error. Java
and Motif are present, CDE is running... Where's the problem?

Best regards,

Marc

You do not have the SWT libraries that are required for Eclipse. These
are the IBM/Eclipse analog of Sun's Swing libraries. However, SWT is not
nearly as cross platform as Swing, which means that you need platform
specific implementations of SWT.

i.e. in your case, you need an AIX(PPC)/MOTIF incarnation of SWT, it seems.

Hi,

You do not have the SWT libraries that are required forEclipse.

i used the aix package from eclipse.org. There's a swt.jar included in
the eclipse/plugins folder. The platform specific librarys swt-
motif***.a are also there in the configuration folder. Do I have to
set additional eclipse classpaths ? On Linux systems the eclipse
package works out of the box.

Best regards,
