Link: canonical IFrame Vernon's blog Wednesday, September 30, 2009 The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library [IMG]Do not worry. Here is the solution to your problem: 1. If you are a real developer just execute the following commands: $ pwd /cygdrive/c/galileo/eclipse $ find plugins/ -name \*.dll plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519/eclipse_1206.dll $ chmod 0755 plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519/eclipse_1206.dll Now you are done. The problem is fixed. 2. If you have never done development from the command-line, and you have not gone to boot camp to learn the new secrets for Vista this year, or whatever sad, proprietary jail cell you are in, then you will need to use a GUI to find the dll named above somewhere down in the eclipse/plugins directory, and give yourself execute permissions to it, and your problem will be fixed. The shortened, but still long, complicated list of clicks and steps probably goes something like ... -1. Stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself. As a windows user, you are simply a second class citizen, so just buck up and deal with it. 0. find the "eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519/eclipse_1206.dll" using the Explorer ... 1. Right-click the file and select Properties. 2. Click on the Security tab. 3. Click Advanced in the lower right. 4. In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab. 5. Click Edit. 6. Click Other users or groups. 7. Click Advanced in the lower left corner. 8. Click Find Now. 9. Scroll through the results and double-click on your current user account. 10. Click OK to all of the remaining windows except the first Properties window. 11. Select your user account from the list up top and click Edit. 12. Select your user account from the list up top again and then in the pane below, check Full control under Allow, or as much control as you need. 13. You'll get a security warning, click Yes. 14. On some files that are essential to Windows, you'll get a "Unable to save permission changes... access is denied" warning and there's nothing that you can do about it to the best of my knowledge. 15. Consider using something other than Windows. Hope that helps. Posted by Vernon Singleton at 10:31 AM [IMG] [IMG] 6 comments: [IMG] [IMG] bronius said... Disclaimer: I cannot defend myself for wearing a developer hat while strapped with a Windows diaper. That said, that message came up for me, and while permissions were all correct, I was in fact missing files... I extracted again, this time using 7zip, and all was well in Vista-ville. hth (and thanks for your post!) 1:24 AM [IMG] Anonymous said... Yup, the windows extractor in vista cannot handle the hugeness of eclipse zip files. I guess they buyout winrar and include it in windows :) 10:39 AM [IMG] Anonymous said... Thank you for your help. 4:31 AM [IMG] Anonymous said... I hate Vista. Not only that I have vista home premium which hates anything that requires a local server! AAAEREEEEFGGGGG 9:05 AM [IMG] [IMG] Arron Chapman said... Hmm... I happened to notice that your using cygwin. So your also a windows user. Being a condescending ass does nothing but make you look like a condescending ass. "-1. Stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself. As a windows user, you are simply a second class citizen, so just buck up and deal with it." I'll just rephrase this for you "-1. I an idiot who thinks because I can pretend to use linux via cygwin I'm not using windows." 12:10 AM [IMG] Anonymous said...
