Error opening Eclipse on the graphics machines in GS 930.

Q. I'm getting an error opening Eclipse on the graphics machines in GS 930.

A. The graphics machines gr01 - gr08 are 64-bit machines and have a 64-bit version of eclipse installed on them. In order to use Eclipse on these, you need a 64 bit version of java in your search path. The version now in /usr/local/bin is a 32-bit version.

You need to modify your PATH:
e.g., in bash

PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_02-x86_64/bin:$PATH

Then run eclipse.
