Background:
Mac OS X - Leopard
Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede
I installed an Eclipse update today to SVNKit (not really sure of the version), and upon doing so, when restarting the app got the following error:
The eclipse executable launcher was unable to find its companion shared library
I did a bit of research and only found references to Windows issues on milestone builds of 3.3. I decided to open up the Eclipse package contents in Eclipse.app, and checked eclipse.ini, since it's often the culprit for weird startup errors.
I had the following line:
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.carbon.macosx_1.0.100.v20080509-1800
-startup
I no longer had that folder but I did have a folder pointing to 1.1.1.....
I updated the directory to point to the directory that DID exist, and voila, it worked! Hopefully if anyone else runs into this this will help...
