Did you set JAVA_HOME?

From a fresh terminal window, what do you get if you do:

readlink -f "$(which java)"
java -version
readlink -f "$(which javac)"
javac -version
echo "$PATH"
echo "$JAVA_HOME"
echo "$CLASSPATH"

?

Should do. We run Galileo (ie 3.5) on CentOS 5.2, currently with java
1.5.0_16-b02. All 32-bit.

I replaced the java version in /usr/bin with the one from jre1.6 and
set JAVA_HOME to the jre1.6.0_20 root directory. Now it says that it
can't find libjli.so when /usr/bin/java is invoked from eclipse . Still
thankful for help to solve this.

Answering the questions i asked would be a good way to get more help.

Googling for 'eclipse libjli.so' would also be a good idea.

Depending on your Distribution, you're making this way to hard. The
package management system should set your PATH's for you. You might
want to try "update-alternative java". Then pick the appropriate
version. This should reset you PATH.

Good luck.
