I install Eclipse Mars on Ubuntu 15.10 following this post:How to install Eclipse using its installer
and lunch it after installation.
I install in /opt folder with sudo ./eclipse-inst
Than I create start Icon, following post, and after that when I try to start Eclipse I got this message: eclipse-executable-launcher-error-unable-to-locate-companion-shared-library and it is not possible to start it.
Any idea what happened?
this is message which I got when try to start from terminal:
../../../../root/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.300.v20150602-1417: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.Hi,
actually when I try to start Eclipse from Terminal with sudo and type my password I can start it. It seems Eclipse doesn't have enough privileges to start.
Does anybody has idea what to do? To change a privileges for the whole folder where Eclipse is installed?

I'm not sure it is the best solution, but it worked for me:
- remove old installation
- open installer as sudo
- open the menu in the upper-right corner of the installer and turn OFF Bundle Pools
- install the version you need
- after the installation is completed go to /opt and change the owner of the eclipse folder. It should be something like sudo chown -R user:group eclipse_folder
The part I'm not sure about is the removal of the first installation. I just deleted the folder, but I'm afraid there's more stuff left behind in different folders.
2With version 'neon' of eclipse, you only have to turn off "bundle pools" and the installer will create a non-root executable version of eclipse.
