Hi Martin,

This is not an issue with 64 bit Linux as such, but with a problem with 
the build process itself: the build without Tcl/Tk does not work on the 
patch branch, which you are using. I have fixed the problem on the main 
branch, but have not yet copied the fix to the patch branch. I will try 
and do this as soon as possible.

The best way round this problem is to build ECLiPSe with Tcl/Tk, and 
also with the other third-party software that ECLiPSe uses. It is best 
to build ECLiPSe with Tcl/Tk and also GMP -- these give important 
functionalitis to ECLiPSe, and is what the binary distributions are 
built with, and is the configuration that is most extensively tested.

ECLiPSe is normally built with these third-party software in a 
ECLiPSETHIRDPARTY directory -- see the ECLiPSe setup guide

http://www.eclipse-clp.org/reports/SetupGuide.pdf

for details on how you can build ECLiPSe with third-party packages.

If you really want to build ECLiPSe without Tcl/Tk now, the easiest work 
around is to modify Makefile.in in <ECLiPSe>/Kernel/src:

find the line

LIB_OBJECTS = ...

(this is line 629 in my copy of Makefile.in)

and delete the two lines with

           tkeclipse.$(OBJECTS_SUFFIX) \
           tkexdr.$(OBJECTS_SUFFIX) \

and then configure and build ECLiPSe again.

Cheers,

Kish
