[eclim-user]Install error:"/usr/bin/eclipse" not found

Hi,

I tried to install eclim on fedora 12 and it gave me the following error:

-------------------------------------------------

It says that /usr/bin/eclipse is not found. But when I do "ls -l /usr/bin/eclipse", I see that it is there. Is it something related to permissions? Please help.

Cheers,
Kashyap

I can run eclipse as a normal user. And the permissions are present for all to execute "/usr/bin/eclipse":

$ ls -l /usr/bin/eclipse
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 112 2010-09-01 03:34 /usr/bin/eclipse

Thanks,
Kashyap

I see the issue. The problem is that if the installer doesn't find
the eclipse executable in the eclipse home, then it attempts to find
it on your path using 'which eclipse', unfortunately, it's failing to
strip off the trailing newline included in the output. The next
release of eclim alleviates the need for the eclipse executable
entirely, but until then, you should be able to work around the
problem by creating a temporary symlink for the installer to use:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/eclipse /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse
