I also had this problem and solved it by installing (more exactly: self-compiling) the eclips-3.2.1 packages from experimental on my machine.
As far as I had figured out, the problem was indeed that gcj did not find *usable* versions of native libraries (like assumed by Michael Koch, stated in Mike O'Connor's mail). In particular, the org.eclipse*so files generated under /tmp did already exist (of course without that "sowtu7my" or similar "suffix"), but they were linked against some libgcj.so* version that was not available anymore on my system. As a consequence, the installed org.eclipse*.so files were not usable and obviously gij tried to generate them. So to track down the problem, check against which libgcj.so* library the org.eclipse*.so on your system are linked against. I think the problem is caused by a "version mismatch" of the intalled version of eclipse-*-gcj packages and the libgcj package, so just re-generating the eclipse-3.1.2 packages may solve the problem. Alternatively, the eclipse 3.2.1 packages from experimental may be promoted to unstable, if this is currently an option ;-) Kind regards, Vivenzio __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsstärkeren E-Mail-Postfach!
