    Well, I just built a new Core 2 Quad PC (4GB RAM, 512MB Video, etc..) and I couldn’t resist testing the latest version of ubuntu - 8.10 Intrepid. I love the system and I think that it acts something like what a MAC would act like.

    Anyway, installing programs (or packages) is great - just click “add/remove” chose your program and Linux will auto-download it and everything you need to run it. Much easier than windows -and free!

    But what if you want a program not on the Official Ubuntu server? What if (*gasp*) you want the latest version of something like Eclipse PDT 2.0? Well, this is where someone new to the system hits a brick wall - everything else is easy to understand but the installation of non-standard/supported .deb or whatever packages.

    I have spent hours and hours reading everything I can on where you put files, how you install programs, etc and I still can’t get Eclipse or Aptana to run. I think it has something to do with the Java VM but I can’t figure it out. I don’t see anything in the configs for those programs on where you would add a line that points to your Java install. I must have at downloaded at least 6 versions of Java by now.

    So has anyone done this before? I know it is possible because I keep finding people that say they have done it! I just wish they would say how!

    Well, I just went to the Eclipse site, downloaded the file that I wanted, unpacked it in my home directory and ran it. Nothing else to do. In fact I did it three times so I had three setups: one for PHP, one for Java and one for C++.

    But I had stability problems with Eclipse, plus it was so damn complicated. Then I discovered NetBeans and downloaded and unpacked the PHP installation of NetBeans 6.5 and I’ve been a happy bunny ever since.

    You say you “can’t get it to run” but without more information, there’s not really anything anyone can do to help you. As I say, for me, I didn’t need to do anything, they just worked… which is how it should be really.

    Thanks for the reply, just so you know - Eclipse 3.2 (from the installer) works fine - but not the new 3.4 or PDT 2.0 (standalone or plugin). When I try to start it nothing happens. There is no error or anything.

    Anyway, here is the log for Aptana

    :EDIT:

    I just downloaded Netbeans 6.5 (PHP) and it works great! Only why are the code lines SO BIG? I think there must be 30px between each line (even though the line-height looks like 19px) - and the color is all funky so I will need to figure out where I can change that back to the standard PHP syntax colors.

    Anyway, do you have any idea about why the other two won’t work?

    Solved: duh, I kept getting the generic downloads and not the “x64” ones. Yep, like you said, eclipse 3.4 runs fine - now to get the PDT addon.
