This is eclipse galileo package installed through synaptic package manager.

I get as far as the welcome screen before the application quits and exits.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but before I startd seeing this issue, I had deleted all workspaces from the preferences window.

Hi

There are two possible causes for this and I suspect you need to fix both for it to work. First off there are some old shared libraries extracted into ~/.eclipse/ that you have to remove. These are (most likely) compiled against older versions of system libraries and will definitely be a source of crashes (if not now, then at least in the future).

Secondly it appears you have multiple versions of xulrunner installed. Please uninstall the one that eclipse is not linked against, since eclipse tends to find both of them and is generally unable to handle this correctly.

Please let us know if this solves your issue.
