Bug#481292: eclipse: fails to start, missing JRE/JDK

[Sandro Tosi]

Hi Michael,

> /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj directory exists on your system?

$ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj: No such file or directory

> Can you please
> try installing java-gcj-compat-dev additionally?

after the installation of that package, I can start eclipse!! I got
the following messages:

$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk...not found
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
Could not create /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension. Please run as root:
    touch /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
    chmod 2775 /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
    chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
$

so I executed those commands and then I got only:

$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk...not found
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
$

Thanks a lot! I think that there is something to fix in Depends/Recommends :)

Thanks again for your support,
Sandro
