I'd try using strace in this instance.

i.e.

$ > strace -f -o strace.dump.file Eclipse_or_whatever_binary

After it's done exiting browse the strace dump file to see where it's
having trouble finding the libraries. My libraries are located here.

/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

which belong to package (I'm using gentoo, but the package name should
pretty much be the same)

x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.13 


Once you look through the trace file and see where it's having trouble
i.e. "file not found" you may have to do a soft link.

ln -s /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.1.0
/usr/lib/__to_whatever_file_the_trace_expects
