Hi,

I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place to post this question, so
please correct me if I'm in the wrong place!

My question is in relation to the ganymede release of Eclipse (3.4) in which
the HP Itanium download does not appear to work on my system. Having done
some investigation, I've discovered this issue has already been logged as
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=241980

Has anyone managed to work around this issue on HPUX? I've tried, but I'm
struggling!

Thanks!
Nick Young

Hi,

The only workaround I can suggest trying is to install gcc-for-hpux and add
it to your OS' library load path env. variable before running eclipse.
Since this package is on our hpux machine I'm guessing that it came on the
OS installation media. I think the library load path env. variable on hpux
is either LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

HTH,
Grant

Thanks for the input Grant,

I've been trying to get this working and have installed gcc and set up
paths/libpaths etc to little effect. Thought I'd try rebuilding Eclipse from
source on my HP machine to see if that helps but that doesn't seem to build
either, so I'm not getting very far!

Is there any target date/build for resolving this problem?

Thanks,
Nick

What about symlinking your actual libgcc_s.so* file to the path that
Eclipse expects?

mkdir -p /opt/hp-gcc-4.2.1/lib/;
cd /opt/hp-gcc-4.2.1/lib/;
ln -s /real/path/to/libgcc_s.so.N libgcc_s.so.0

Or, failing that, have you considered virtualization? Eg., install
qumranet, virtualbox or vmware, then run a Windows or Linux OS inside
it, and Eclipse on that. Not exactly a simple workaround, but if you're
using Eclipse to build for multiple OSes anyway, it would give you the
infra to test multiple OSes from the same box as a happy side effect. :)
