I downloaded the 32-bit eclipse for my 32-bit fedora 12. I extracted the tar.gz without any error. But when i click on the eclipse executable, i am getting the error:

"Failed to load the JNI shared library "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/bin/../lib/i386/client/libjvm.so" "

I am not able to resolve this error. Please inform how to proceed.

Regards,

  • Eclipse needs Java. Do you have OpenJDK installed? Do you have a "/usr/lib/jvm" directory with the above file in it? – paulsm4 Aug 11 '12 at 07:33

Go to your eclipse folder
Open eclipse.ini file and check if there is -vm option set properly
Else set -vm in one line followed by your jdk installed bin folder.
Hope this helps yo solve your problem.

I'd suggest avoiding OpenJDK, as Eclipse will keep complaining about it. So, navigate to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and download appropriate Sun's Java package (32 or 64 bit, depending on your current installation). As Fedora uses RPMs for package management, I advise to use that method.

Then, after installation, run java -version in terminal, you should get something like:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
