Eclipse 3.2 fixed for amd64. Give it another try. After I fixed the  
"SWT_PTR_CFLAGS=-DSWT_PTR_SIZE_64" I was still having the same error. 
After a lot of debugging in the C and Java code it was found that a 
32bit swt library was being loaded. Eclipse on initial startup copies 
the swt library to your <home>/<user>/.eclipse directory from the 
eclipse install directory. So when I tried to run it before patching the 
"SWT_PTR_CFLAGS=-DSWT_PTR_SIZE_64" flag it copied the broken swt library 
into that directory. After deleting the <home>/<user>/.eclipse directory 
and starting eclipse again it copied the right (fixed) swt library over. 
This library is a shared object so I am not sure why it needs to place a 
copy in the users home directory. Anyways, When you try the new 
eclipse.shar file you should also delete your <home>/<user>/.eclipse 
directory to make sure any old broken libraries are removed so the new 
ones will be placed there. Let me know if you have any problems.
