Description of problem: /usr/bin/eclipse sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH. LD_LIBRARY_PATH slows down application startup, especially if the application uses a lot of shared libraries. Probably the reason that eclipse needs to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH is that firefox does not work without it. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161958 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22
I've removed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting as per bug 168040 but I'm not sure if it will still work with firefox. I guess we'll have to see once we get a newly built eclipse.
This will show up in the next rawhide build. Currently, that's waiting on bug 170244.
This should show up in today's rawhide push (-15).
This is fixed in the proposed FC4 update (eclipse-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.4). The fix for rawhide will have to wait on a fix for bug 133180 which is stopping me building lucene on ia64 and ppc64 which is in turn stopping me re-building Eclipse (since I want to add ia64 and ppc64) :) . I guess I'll set up some good 'ol bug dependencies.
Okay, forgetting ia64 and ppc64 (which are new for FC Eclipse anyway), this is now fixed.
