I downloaded the eclipse.org eclipse 3.4 ppc version and tried to run it on my machine. For some reason it will not launch and says 'No such file or directory'. This is odd because I can ls it, and file it, and it is clearly there. I can run this on other systems and it works. Also file says it is dynamic and ldd says it isn't, which is very odd. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download eclipse from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-ppc.tar.gz 2.

Both with ppc64 kernels.

Issues with arbitrary third party packages is beyond what we handle. Forwarding to ppc64, i case there this is a platform issue.
I had a look and those distros seem to be 32ul while you're on 64ul, and eclipse runs on 32ul so should be a userland problem. I got that output on a x86 box for the eclipse-ppc, seems normal. Have you got a *32-bit* Java SDK? This is probably your problem. For instance this user is x86_64 and had this same error while loading the i386 version: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892976
> I got that output on a x86 box for the eclipse-ppc, seems normal. I ment ldd, and 'file eclipse'. And I believe I had the same "no such file" output on x86 when Java wasn't well set up.
this is well beyond gentoo/ppc64 scope... please report this issue upstream. you should check before if you have java working correctly and if eclipse from eclipse.org is supposted to work with 64bit userland on ppc64.
