Hi Stephan,

The implementation of cd_if_possible/1 was moved from ECLiPSe into C 
relatively recently in 5.10. My guess is that you can see the above 
error if you are loading in an older version of libeclipse.so before 
cd_if_possible was defined in it.

Since you have multiple versions of ECLiPSe, you must ensure that the 
correct version of libeclipse.so is loaded when you run your program.
In Unix, the system will search the directories defined in 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X), so if you change the 
version of ECLiPSe you are using, you need to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH (as 
well as ECLIPSE_DIR, which you are using to point to the ECLiPSe 
directory).

Cheers,

Kish
