Hi,

I'm trying to run eclipse 3 motif on linux, but it keeps crashing on me.
It starts up alright, but will randomly crash on one of the first
actions (create project, create package, delete package,etc.)

I get a window saying "JVM terminated. Error code=6".
I added part of the error log below.

Now this seems like a motif related problem, but I guess I'm using the
correct libraries (the, openmotif,ones that come with eclipes).

Some extra info:
- Eclipse 2.1.2 works just fine.
- Linux version is quite old, RH 7.2.
- Tried JDK 1.3.1_01, 1.4.2_03 and 1.4.2_05.

Should I try the gtk2 version ? (and likely go though dependency hell)
Or just give up get a more recent linux distribution ? (I'd prefer not
reinstall and reconfigure everything )

Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working ?

Thanks,

Erik.
