I had all kinds of problems with that error message installing Eclipse 
on Sunday.  You might find the following link useful
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44644&highlight=eclipse
(I know it relates to both Fedora and Eclipse but I assume the same 
principles applies.)
I also had problems with permissions on the various directories in that 
when I got Eclipse to run as root when I changed to a user account 
Eclipse started out by giving compile errors which was solved by 
adjusting the permissions.


Hope this is of some use!
